Indian-summer-sun With crimson feathers whips away the mists,— Dives through the filter of trellises And gilds the silver on the blotched arbor-seats.   Now gold and purple scintillate On trees that seem dancing In delirium; Then the moon In a mad orange flare Floods the grape-hung night.            This poem is in the public domain.
