Love
In the Fall o' Year
From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Stevenson (1912)
Love
I went back an old-time lane
In the fall o' year.
There was wind and bitter rain
And the leaves were sere.
Once the birds were lilting high
In a far-off May —
I remember, you and I
Were as glad as they.
But the branches now are bare
And the lad you knew,
Long ago was buried there —
Long ago, with you!
