Autumn Thoughts

Moonlight! the floating mists are gone, a wind

unveils the deep clear night.

Star rivals star, and the silver river draws to her

breast the dreamy light.

Gaunt old trees cast shadows on the plain;

Little birds hushed by fear are stirring, singing

again,

And my heart is a tumult of song

And a torrent of wild wings shaking free.

Home, home, home--I hear the long

Shrill of the far cicada calling me.
