Eros And Other Poems PDF Download

Excerpt from Eros and Other Poems As one who, strolling on some autumn day Through woods with summer's life no longer crowned, Gathers the treasures fallen from many a spray, And shows his friends the choicest he has found; So, little book, do I, in life's decay, And seeing close at hand its wintry bound, Bid thee, with silent footstep go around To those that know me best, and whispering say: "These leaves, long pressed within the book of years, From which the colors may not quite have fled, Seek private audience from kindly ears, To tell what thoughts my summer hours once fed Receive them with mild silence; scorn them not; Let him that sends them be not quite forgot."
