Wild loveliness. In heaven two or three

Small stars awaken and gaze shyly down....

White and alluring runs the dusty road

Into the country, and with yellow eyes

A hastening car comes purring with its load:

Like some great owl it hoots, and then it flies

Past, and is swallowed up in dusk. And, singing,

A country girl with basket homeward wends

—Sweet as the dusty roses that are clinging

Around the cottage where her journey ends.
