AN AUTUMN THOUGHT FROM THE SOUTH
I KNOW a trail whereon my vagrant tread
Could feel the soft resilience of pine needles—
The gradual harvest of forgotten years—
With here and there the crackle of a cone
Crushed underfoot. And through the drowsy gloom,
Pressing aside the lithe low-hanging boughs,
I should be dazzled suddenly, and find
A tiny clearing like a secret chapel
Full of the lavish sun’s illuminance,
With a resplendent altar in the midst—
A flaring sumach bush. There would I kneel
And consecrate that altar with glad tears.
