<h2> A SONG </h2>
<p>(For John McCormack)<br/></p>
<p>June of the trees in glory,<br/>
June of the meadows gay!<br/>
O, and it works a story<br/>
To tell an October day.<br/>
<br/>
Blooms of the apple and cherry<br/>
Toil for the far-off hours;<br/>
Never is idleness merry,<br/>
In song of the garden bowers.<br/>
<br/>
Brooks to the sea from mountains,<br/>
Yea, and from field and vine:<br/>
Rain and the sun are fountains<br/>
That gather for wheat and wine.<br/>
<br/>
Cellar and loft shall glory,<br/>
Table and hearth shall praise,<br/>
Hearing October's story<br/>
Of June and the merry days.<br/></p>
