latter work were incorporated by
Joseph Leftwich in his anthology
"The Golden Peacock". They are:
LATE SUMMER
All gold with yellow leaves the garden
Lies stretched out immovably.
As never before and never again
Autumn is dull gold to me.
It is a mass of gold and tarnish,
Oh life that grows out of rust!
Grass and trees all seem to be tarnish,
On the eve of death from frost.
SEWING
Old women sit sewing
With bowed head.
They are sewing, sewing
With white thread.
They are sewing, sewing
Silently,
Thinking pity such things
Need to be.
Swaddling clothes and napkins
Babes must have.
But they are sewing shrouds
For the grave.
Shrouds are sewn with stitches
Loose and rough.
And they need no buttons
To take them off.
Pity that such garments
Need to be. -
But we all must have them—
Woe is me.
