INDIAN SUMMER

Fair are fleets of white winged prows
Swiftly sailing o’er the sea;
Fair are herds of homing cows,
Winding slowly o’er the lea;
Fair are orchards, when replete
With rich blossoms pink and white;
Fair are fields of ripening wheat
Shining in the morning light;
Fair is any mountain sheet
Burnishing in colors bright;
