GLOW AND AFTERGLOW.
The day hath been — The heat, the unaccomplished task— The corn to bind, the headlands glean, And I for time was fain to ask. The day hath been. Dear soul who brought both food and drink And sat with me in the leafy shade, One fleeting hour to talk and think. The day hath ’ been. Throughout the long, hot afternoon My rural queen Toiled till tire rising of the moon. The day hath been. I have no wish to linger now, The harvest moon hath beautified the scene, And glory fades from Urewora’s brow. —Charles Oscar Palmer.
