I love to steal my way Through the bright woods, when autumn's work And through the tree-tops all the dream-Hke day
Breathe the soft golden sun;

When all is busted and still, Only a few last leaves, flattering slow Down the warm air with ne'er a bresso's wil-
A ghost of sound below;
When naught of song is heard, Bare the jay laughing while all nature grievos, Or the lone chirp of some forgotten biră
Among the fallen leaves."
Around me everywhere
Holding the rainbow's tears in sunuy air,

And roofed the summer's song.
Why shan my steps to tread These silent hosts that everywhere are strowa, As my foet ware walking among the dead,
And I alive alone ↑
Hast no bright trees, O Past!
