And then into a cloud, such clouds as flit
Like splendour-wingèd moths about a taper
Round the red west when the sun dies in it
And then into a meteor

Don't talk to me of solemn days
In autumn's time of splendor,
Because the sun shows fewer rays,
And these grow slant and slender.
Why, it's the climax of the year,—
The highest time of living!

But his shoulders are stark, and his jaws they are grim
And a good little child will not play with him
