XLV.
AS imperceptibly as griefThe summer lapsed away, —Too imperceptible, at last,To seem like perfidy.
A quietness distilled,As twilight long begun,Or Nature, spending with herselfSequestered afternoon.
The dusk drew earlier in,The morning foreign shone, —A courteous, yet harrowing grace,As guest who would be gone.
And thus, without a wing,Or service of a keel,Our summer made her light escapeInto the beautiful.
