Has burned itself to ashes, and expires
In the intensity of its own fires,
There come the mellow, mild, St. Martin days
Crowned with the calm of peace, but sad with haze.

Of his own throes, and torments, and desires,

He beckons us to follow, and across
Cool verdant vales we wander free from care.

And yet, and yet, these days are incomplete. — Ella Wheeler Wilcox
