 I'm waiting but she comes not back
 I fondly call thro all the fragrant days
|I wonder much the loss of her sweet
courtesy
 Such strange forsaking of her gracious ways
 [Take Heart?]
 The Summer always kept her for it's own
 She wandered wide in winsome lands
 But in the Autumn true & bright as steel
 I know she'll come with outstretched
hands!
/ I see her come /
SHD.
