Though flowers have perished at the touch	A
Of Frost the early comer	B
I hail the season loved so much	A
The good St Martin's summer	B
	-
O gracious morn with rose red dawn	C
And thin moon curving o'er it	D
The old year's darling latest born	E
More loved than all before it	D
	-
How flamed the sunrise through the pines	F
How stretched the birchen shadows	G
Braiding in long wind wavered lines	F
The westward sloping meadows	G
	-
The sweet day opening as a flower	B
Unfolds its petals tender	B
Renews for us at noontide's hour	B
The summer's tempered splendor	B
	-
The birds are hushed alone the wind	H
That through the woodland searches	I
The red oak's lingering leaves can find	H
And yellow plumes of larches	I
	-
But still the balsam breathing pine	J
Invites no thought of sorrow	K
No hint of loss from air like wine	J
The earth's content can borrow	K
	-
The summer and the winter here	L
Midway a truce are holding	M
A soft consenting atmosphere	N
Their tents of peace enfolding	M
	-
The silent woods the lonely hills	I
Rise solemn in their gladness	I
The quiet that the valley fills	I
Is scarcely joy or sadness	I
	-
How strange The autumn yesterday	O
In winter's grasp seemed dying	M
On whirling winds from skies of gray	O
The early snow was flying	M
	-
And now while over Nature's mood	P
There steals a soft relenting	M
I will not mar the present good	Q
Forecasting or lamenting	M
	-
My autumn time and Nature's hold	R
A dreamy tryst together	B
And both grown old about us fold	R
The golden tissued weather	B
	-
I lean my heart against the day	O
To feel its bland caressing	M
I will not let it pass away	O
Before it leaves its blessing	M
	-
God's angels come not as of old	R
The Syrian shepherds knew them	S
In reddening dawns in sunset gold	R
And warm noon lights I view them	S
	-
Nor need there is in times like this	I
When heaven to earth draws nearer	B
Of wing or song as witnesses	I
To make their presence clearer	B
	-
O stream of life whose swifter flow	K
Is of the end forewarning	M
Methinks thy sundown afterglow	K
Seems less of night than morning	M
	-
Old cares grow light aside I lay	O
The doubts and fears that troubled	T
The quiet of the happy day	O
Within my soul is doubled	T
	-
That clouds must veil this fair sunshine	J
Not less a joy I find it	D
Nor less yon warm horizon line	J
That winter lurks behind it	D
	-
The mystery of the untried days	I
I close my eyes from reading	M
His will be done whose darkest ways	I
To light and life are leading	M
	-
Less drear the winter night shall be	U
If memory cheer and hearten	V
Its heavy hours with thoughts of thee	U
Sweet summer of St Martin	V
