THE NEWS
The katydids say it as plain as can be And the crickets are singing it under the trees; In the asters’ blue eyes you may read the same hint, Just as clearly as if you had seen it in print. And the corn sighs it, too, as it waves in the sun, That autumn is here and summer is done. Persis Gardiner.
