NOW COMES THE SECTION IN WHICH THE CANDLE IS BLOWN OUT

SEPTEMBER ENDED

When September ended
The palettes and brushes
Of autumn descended.

THE LEAVES FALL

The Indian Summer wind grieves
With the falling of
The first leaves.

THE MOHAWK WAR-BONNET

Again—
Darkness, sweetness and scandal—
Trailing his Mohawk
War-bonnet—
The Butterfly came
And extinguished the Candle.

BUBBLES FROM BLACKFEET GLACIER FALLS

Bubbles
From Blackfeet Glacier Falls,
In the dream that
Hovers
Near the
Blown-out candle
In the Cabin
In the Moonlight.

EPILOGUE

ONE MORE SONG

All I can bring is one more song,
Though I have brought you a thousand and one.
So it will be till my life is done.
I would set right the old world's wrong;
I would outbuild New York and Rome.
But all
I can bring home
Is one
More
Song.
