FOR REMEMBRANCE
It would be sweet to think when we are old
Of all the pleasant days that came to pass;
That here we took the berries from the grass,
There charmed the bees with pans, and smoke unrolled
And spread the melon nets when nights were cold
Or pulled the blood-root in the underbrush
And marked the ringing of the tawny thrush,
While all the west was broken burning gold.
And so I bind with rhymes those memories,
As girls press pansies in the poet's leaves
And find them afterward with sweet surprise;
Or treasure petals mingled with perfume,
Loosing them in the days when April grieves;
A subtle summer in the rainy room.
Duncan Campbell Scott, in September Scribner.
