To HOWARD LESLIE SMITH LOVER OF LETTERS
SABINE HILLS On Sabine hills when melt the snows, Still level-full His river flows; Each April now His valley fills With cyclamen and daffodils; And summers wither with the rose. Swift-waning moons the cycle close: Birth,—toil,—mirth,—death; life onward goes Through harvest heat or winter chills On Sabine hills. Yet One breaks not His long repose, Nor hither comes when Zephyr blows; In vain the spring's first swallow trills; Never again that Presence thrills; One charm no circling season knows On Sabine hills. GEORGE MEASON WHICHER
