[SEPTEMBER.]

"While slowly o'er the hills

The unnerved day piles his prodigious sunshine.

Here be gardens of Hesperian mould,

Recesses rare, temples of birch and fern,

Perfumes of light-green sumac, ivy thick,

And old stone fences tottering to their fall,

And gleaming lakes that cool invite the bath,

And most aerial mountains for the West."
