Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hillsboro People
Wide and shallow in the cowslip marshes Floods the freshet of the April snow. Late drifts linger in the hemlock gorges, Through the brakes and mosses trickling slow Where the May?ower, Where the painted trillium, leaf and blow.
Foliaged deep, the cool midsummer maples Shade the porches of the long white street; Trailing wide, Olympian elms lean over Tiny churches where the highroads meet. Fields of fire?ies Wheel all night like stars among the wheat.
Blaze the mountains in the windless autumn Frost-clear, blue-nooned, apple-ripening days Faintly fragrant in the farther valleys Smoke of many bonfires swells the haze; F air-bound cattle Plod with lowing up the meadowy ways.
Roaring snows down -sweeping from the uplands Bury the still valleys, drift them deep. Low along the mountain, lake blue shadows, Sea-blue shadows in the hollows sleep. High above them Blinding crystal is the sunlit steep.
