<h3 id="In_an_Autumn_Garden">In an Autumn Garden</h3>
<p> TO-NIGHT the air discloses<br/>
Souls of a million roses,<br/>
And ghosts of hyacinths that died too soon;<br/>
From Pan’s safe-hidden altar<br/>
Dim wraiths of incense falter<br/>
In waving spiral, making sweet the moon!</p>
<p> Aroused from fragrant covers,<br/>
The vows of vanished lovers<br/>
Take voice in whisperings that rise and pass;<br/>
Where the crisped leaves are lying<br/>
A tremulous, low sighing<br/>
Breathes like a startled spirit o’er the grass.</p>
<p> Ah, Love! in some far garden,<br/>
In Arcady or Arden,<br/>
We two were lovers! Hush—remember not<br/>
The years in which I’ve missed you—<br/>
’Twas yesterday I kissed you<br/>
Beneath this haunted moon! Have you forgot?</p>
