WALLS OF CORN AND OTHER POEMS. 171 A Dirge. The wind of autumn blows, So cold, so cold ; The wind of autumn blows, Dead is the summer rose, And the withered grass lies rotting on the mould. The frost creeps round the door, So still, so still; The frost creeps round the door, The cricket sings no more, No more at twilight pleads the whip-po-wil. But I hear the owlet's cry, Forlorn, forlorn; I hear the owlet's cry, When the waning moon is high, And the raccoon's greedy call among the corn. I mour...n the summer dead, So soon, so soon; I mourn the summer dead, With all its glory fled, As I stand beneath the frosty waning moon. And I think how life is going So fast, so fast. I think how life is going, How swift its tides are flowing, How we scarcely hail our summer, ere 'as past. 172 WALLS OF CORN AND OTHER POEMS. The Old Stone Quarry. Grown with grass and with tangled weeds, Where the blind mole hides and the rabbit feeds, And, unmolested, the serpent breeds. Edged with underwood, newly grown, Draped with the cloak that the years have thrown Round the broken gaps in the jagged stone.
