Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 305, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 24 December 1910 — Autumn. [ARTICLE]

Autumn.

As imperceptible as grief The summer lapsed away. Too Imperceptible, at last. To seem like perfidy. A quietness distilled. As twilight long begun, A Or nature, spending with herself Sequestered afternoon. The dusk drew earlier In. The morning foreign shone, A courteous, yet harrowing grace,. As guest who would be gone. And thus, without a wing. Or service of a keel. Our summer made her light escape Into the beautiful. —Emil Dickinson;
