Eugene Field - An Autumn Treasure-TroveEugene Field - An Autumn Treasure-Trove
Work rating: Low


`Tis the time of the year`s sundown, and flame     Hangs on the maple bough;   And June is the faded flower of a name;     The thin hedge hides not a singer now.   Yet rich am I; for my treasures be     The gold afloat in my willow-tree.   Sweet morn on the hillside dripping with dew,     Girded with blue and pearl,   Counts the leaves afloat in the streamlet too;     As the love-lorn heart of a wistful girl,   She sings while her soul brooding tearfully   Sees a dream of gold in the willow-tree.   All day pure white and saffron at eve,     Clouds awaiting the sun   Turn them at length to ghosts that leave     When the moon`s white path is slowly run   Till the morning comes, and with joy for me   O`er my gold agleam in the willow-tree.   The lilacs that blew on the breast of May     Are an old and lost delight;   And the rose lies ruined in his careless way     As the wind turns the poplars underwhite,   Yet richer am I for the autumn; see   All my misty gold in the willow-tree.
