Lxxiii

Listen in the reader

The sun on the tide, the peach on the bough, The blue smoke over the hill, And the shadows trailing the valley-side, Make up the autumn day.

Ah, no, not half! Thou art not here Under the bronze beech-leaves, And thy lover’s soul like a lonely child Roams through an empty room.
