description: I feel these languid hours are Summer's lst. Let us then drain the sweetness that they hold. Let us have largess of each day's warm gold. Ere wails from out the north the bitter blast. Soon must we dwell on memories of the past, Beside the ingole shrinking from the cold; Soon must we see across the frosted wold The storm's white plume'd squadrons wheeling fast. Sing, bird, for soon wilt thou wing far they flight, Since here the balmy airs will cease to blow; Purl, brook, with allthey liguid swift delight, Ere long a prisoner's bondage shalt thou know; Take heed, my heart, as comes the years long night, Lest thou be chilled as with the Winter's Snow! Clinton Scollard. Published September 29, 1888
