Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Stray Leaves
Stray leaves of early Spring, By other leaves and fruit of Summer shaded, Too early in their first fair blossoming, Now almost faded. I scarce might offer these poor leaves to thee, Did not thine eyes their earlier beauty see.
Stray leaves of later bloom, When life's long Summer day hath told its story, And Autumn comes, with less of sweet perfume But mellower glory. I scarce to thee these russet leaves may give, But that thy dear approval bids them live.
Stray leaves from distant hills Or dales, where we have often stroll'd together Olive and Palm, grown near Italian rills, Or spines of Heather. Memorials sweet I could not bring to thee, Had not love's fingers gathered them for me.
