When leaves are down!

O for the bronze-green eucalyptus spires

Far-flashing up against the endless blue!

Shifting and glancing in the steady fires

Of sun and moonlight too.

Dark orange groves! Pomegranate hedges bright,

And varnished fringes of the pepper trees!

And O that wind of sunshine! Wind of light!

Wind of Pacific seas!

ON THE PAWTUXET.
