THE MAPLE-TREE
DAY after day I travel downFrom Billerica to the town;Day after day, in passing byA cedar-pasture, gray and high,See, shining clear and far, (a mile),The white church-steeple of Carlisle;And bright between Carlisle and me,Daily a glowing maple-tree.
descriptionPage 128
Suffused with yellow, every partIs burning saffron at the heart.Upwards and warm the colors gainFrom ruddy gold to claret-stain;And downward tending, lightly leanTo citron yellow and cold green.Day after autumn day it stillMore deeply burns against the hill.And now I 've made of it a typeOf hopes, like mine, near autumn-ripe,And watch, intent, which first shall be,The consummation of the tree,Or that gold harvest-hope prepared for me.
