MAGIC.
When the sparse leaves left to the oak are
And gray at their boughs and night is near
And the wind wails over marsh and mere
Where the after night lies dead and drear-
Then, ah that again!
Come days that have been-
Dead many a year-for many a year!
When the wild drake calls in the early night.
When the plashy pools give back dull light.
And above in the gray void out of sight
The flocks pulse by on their inland flight-
Then, ah for the dead
Sweet days that are fled-
And their dear delight-and their dear delight!
-G. K. Turner in Springfield Republican
