York.

York: Cora Kennedy Aitken

Adrift in the sunlight the autumn wind mourns
Through the ripe orchards’ rosy, luxuriant bending;
Let us go past the hedges of blackberry-thorns
With wild roses blending,—
Across the arched bridges where softly below
The pale river moves with a murmurous flowing
’Twixt shadowy banks where the long rushes grow
And sweet winds are blowing;
Along the close streets of the city so quaint,
So divinely o’erbrimmed with the sound of the swinging
Of bells in brown towers, whose musical plaint
Around us is ringing.
Then on to the square,—here erect in the shade
The solemn cathedral stands up like a warning,
And calls with its wonderful voice from the dead
At evening and morning. .....
