SUMMER IN AUVERGNE.

The sundawn fills the land
Full as a feaster's hand
Fills full with bloom of bland
Bright wine his cup;
Flows full to flood that fills
From the arch of air it thrills
Those rust‑red iron hills
With morning up.

Dawn, as a panther springs,
With fierce and fire‑fledged wings
Leaps on the land that rings
From her bright feet
