Indian Summer Song.
A lulling song of locusts, the hum of golden bees,
And you seem to hear the sap flow through the thrilled veins of the trees.
And the hazy, mazy, daisy, dreaming world around you seems
Like a mystic land enchanted—like a paradise of dreams!
Blue smoke from happy huts,
A rain of ripened nuts,
And far away, o'er meadows ringing,
Sweet sound, as of a woman singing,
"Comin through the rye—
Comin through the rye!"
And then the faint, uncertain, silver tenor of a bell
That summons all the winds to prayer in many a cloistered dell
And then a thrush's music from groves with golden gleams,
The wild note of a mockingbird, and still the dreams, the dreams!
Blue smoke from happy huts
A rain of ripened nuts,
And far away, o'er meadows ringing,
Sweet sounds as of a woman singing,
"Comin through the rye—
Comin through the rye!"
—Frank L. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution.
