Knowest thou why they are so fair, why the wind sighs so gently among the trees, why the leaves are so green, the earth so warm and soft, why the fields are bright with flowers and why, from the reeds beside the brooks, strange whispers come? Knowest thou, too, why the sun shines down so bright by day and why, at night, the moonlight dreams upon the sleeping world, peopling the deep shadows of the rocks and trees with unknown things?

From the wide open doors, the road winds like a pale ribbon across the fields to the dark line of the shore. Within thy palace, lamps are burning, harps and citherns whisper and sigh of love; and the laughter of thy guests, the clashing of cups and dishes, echo among the trees.

How black thine unbound hair, how deep thine eyes! How like a spirit of the night as thou standest, with arms outstretched, murmuring strange words above the smoking incense, while the hoarse croak- ings of the frogs, the shrieks of flitting bats, resound like sweetest music in thine ears! THE FALLING LEAVES When the sun sets all too soon beyond the mountains...<
