Nature

Indian Summer

by John Banister Tabb 1845–1909

From Lyrics (1897)

Nature

No more the battle or the chase
The phantom tribes pursue,
But each in its accustomed place
The Autumn hails anew:

And still from solemn councils set
On every hill and plain,
The smoke of many a calumet
Ascends to heaven again.
