Indian Summer

Title:     Indian Summer
Author: Isabel Ecclestone Mackay [More Titles by Mackay]

I HAVE strayed from silent places,
Where the days are dreaming always;
And fair summer lies a-dying,
Roses withered on her breast.
I have stolen all her beauty,
All her softness, all her sweetness;
In her robe of folden sunshine
I am drest.

I will breathe a mist about me
Lest you see my face too clearly,
Lest you follow me too boldly
I will silence every song.
Through the haze and through the silence
You will know that I am passing;
When you break the spell that holds you,
I am gone!

[The end]
Isabel Ecclestone Mackay's poem: Indian Summer
