MorningA
-
Her rain kissed face is fresh as rainB
Is cool and fresh as a rain wet leafC
She glimmers at my window paneB
And all my griefC
Becomes a feeble rushlight seen no moreD
When the gold of her gown sweeps in my doorD

-
ForenoonB
-
Great blurs of woodland waved with windF
Gray paths down which October cameG
That now November's blasts have thinnedH
And flecked with fiercer flameG
Are her delight She loves to lieI
Regarding with a gray blue eyeI
The far off hills that hold the skyI
And I I lie and gaze with herJ
Beyond the autumn woods and waysK
Into the hope of coming daysK
The spring that nothing shall deterJ
That puts my soul in unisonB
With what's to do and what is doneB

-
NoonB
-
Wild grapes that purple throughL
Leaves that are goldenB
Brush fires that pillar blueL
Woods that enfoldenB
Deep in the haze of dreamsM
In resignationB
Give themselves up it seemsM
To divinationB
Woods that ablaze with oakN
That the crow flew inB
Gaze through the brushwood smokeN
On their own ruinB
And on the countenance of Death who stalksO
Amid their milesP
While to himself he talksO
And smilesP
Where in their midst Noon sits and holdsQ
Communion with their grays and goldsQ
Transforming with her rays their golds and graysK
And in my heart the memories of dead daysK

AfternoonB
-
Wrought iron hues of blood and bronzeR
Like some wild dawn'sS
Make fierce each leafy spireT
Of blackberry brierJ
Where through their thorny fireJ
She goes the Afternoon from wood to woodU
From crest to oak crowned crestV
Of the high hill lands where the Morning stoodU
With rosy ribboned breastV
Along the hills she takes the tangled pathW
Unto the quiet close of dayX
Musing on what a lovely death she hathW
The unearthly golden beryl far awayX
Banding the gradual westV
Seen through cathedral columns of the pinesY
And minster naves of woodlands arched with vinesY
The golden couch spread of the setting sunB
For her to lie and me to gaze uponB

EveningA
-
The winds awakeZ
And whispering shakeZ
The aster flower whose doom is sealedA2
The sumach bloomB2
Bows down its plumeB2
And blossom Bayard of the fieldA2
The chicory stoutC2
To the winds' wild routC2
Lifts up its ragged shieldA2
Low in the west the Evening showsD2
A ridge of roseD2
And stepping Earthward from the hillsE2
Where'er she goesD2
The cricket wakes and all the silence spillsE2
With reed like music shaken from the weedsF2
She takes my handG2
And leadsF2
Softly my soul into the FairylandG2
The wonder world of gold and chrysoliteG2
She builds there at the haunted edge of nightG2

NightG2
-
Autumn woods the winds tramp downB
Sowing acorns left and rightG2
Where in rainy raiment NightG2
Tiptoes rustling wild her gownB
Dripping in the moon's pale lightG2
In the moonlight wan that hurriesH2
Trailing now a robe of cloudG2
Now of glimmer ghostly browedG2
Through the leaves whose wildness skurriesH2
And whose tatters swirl and swarmI2
Round her in her stormy starknessH2
She who takes my heart that leapsH2
That exults and onward sweepsH2
Like a red leaf in the darknessH2
And the tumult of the stormI2
