Let those the war of "Saxon versus Slang" wage,
Who have the charge of "the American Language."
That has a future (Howell's law, and Fate's!)
"The language of the Great United States"
(Unless through cant and coarseness it goes rotten)
The world will speak when "English" is forgotten.
The Coming Fall.
The Autumn comes. We welcome it—
A change from Summer heat appalling.
