	-
A day of torpor in the sullen heat	B
Of Summer's passion In the sluggish stream	C
The panting cattle lave their lazy feet	B
With drowsy eyes and dream	C
	-
Long since the winds have died and in the sky	D
There lives no cloud to hint of Nature's grief	E
The sun glares ever like an evil eye	D
And withers flower and leaf	E
	-
Upon the gleaming harvest field remote	F
The thresher lies deserted like some old	G
Dismantled galleon that hangs afloat	F
Upon a sea of gold	G
	-
The yearning cry of some bewildered bird	H
Above an empty nest and truant boys	I
Along the river's shady margin heard	H
A harmony of noise	I
	-
A melody of wrangling voices blent	H
With liquid laughter and with rippling calls	J
Of piping lips and thrilling echoes sent	H
To mimic waterfalls	J
	-
And through the hazy veil the atmosphere	K
Has draped about the gleaming face of Day	H
The sifted glances of the sun appear	K
In splinterings of spray	H
	-
The dusty highway like a cloud of dawn	L
Trails o'er the hillside and the passer by	D
A tired ghost in misty shroud toils on	M
His journey to the sky	D
	-
And down across the valley's drooping sweep	N
Withdrawn to farthest limit of the glade	H
The forest stands in silence drinking deep	N
Its purple wine of shade	H
	-
The gossamer floats up on phantom wing	O
The sailor vision voyages the skies	P
And carries into chaos everything	O
That freights the weary eyes	P
	-
Till throbbing on and on the pulse of heat	H
Increases reaches passes fever's height	H
And Day sinks into slumber cool and sweet	H
Within the arms of Night	H
