DAY BY DAY.

By Edith M. Thomas

Day by day the year unfolds All its treasure chamber holds; Day by day the leaves expand Till the green wood tents the land; Then we ask some smiling morn, “When was summer born?”

Day by day some beauty waves From the forest, from the plains: Now the swath and now the sheaf, Day by day the falling leaf: Then some lonely eve we sigh, “When did summer die?” —Edith M. Thomas.
