AN AUTUMN ETCHING.
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
(Copyright. 1907. by Amerlcan-Jour-
nal-Examiner.)
The pallid remnant of a broken moon
Hang* listlessly above a sullen sea:
A lonely sailboat, anchored In the cove.
Rock* aimlessly on billow* cold and
gray
About the doorstep* of deserted homes
A gusty wind blow* little heaps of
rand.
A fisherman looks out across the bay,
Then pulls his boat beyond high-water
mark.
Anil leaves It on the beach. The tide
runs In
To meet the rising wind; the faded
moon
Sinks tinder deepening clouds.
The night Is dark.
