Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Where the River Flows
Summer's Passing
The Wind eloped with Summer to-day -
It came gently, from out the unknown,
Dry and crisp, clean smelling.
It greeted great trees,
And branches and leaves began to dance.
It made rivers ripple with laughter.
Tall friendly rushes
Along their banks
Curtsied;
Shrubs and grasses swayed
In happy welcome.
As it blew nearer
It gathered strength:
Nature's dancing became wilder.
Trees grasped their swirling skirts
And tangoed
To a grand symphony
Of water, land and air, -
Majestic, limitless, -
The rhythm of the seasons.
Then the climax broke:
The blue sky smiled above.
Tenderly,
In its strong arms,
The Wind grasped Summer
And carried her away -
To distant, undiscovered spaces.
