A LITTLE SONG

The sunset in the rosy west,                                           1

THE HILL PATH

Are the little breezes blind,                                          2

The wave is over the foaming reef,                                    15

THE FIFTEENTH OF APRIL

Pallid saffron glows the broken stubble,                              17

Above the lifeless pools the mist films swim,                         19
