THE GRASSHOPPER THE grasshopper, that sang its sleepy song All summer long, The orchard lands and harvest fields among, Taking no heed of aught save its own joy, Without alloy, Cheering the ear with its "Ahoy! ahoy!" — A merry note of summer's self a part,— Like my old heart, Is silent now and cold; its singing done. The grasshopper's a-cold and summer's gone, And I'm alone.
