Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from In Praise of Leaves: And Other Verse
Ith open palms held shyly to the sky, Like acolytes that tremble as they vow, The frail leaves waver on the tranquil bough. The hush that hails the dusk, itself a sigh, Presses the trees, too startled to reply. The slender shadows of the spring are fled, And summer's slumbrous masses, in their stead, Linger beneath the nestling's lullaby. 0 you, brave harbingers of bridal Junes, Most patient Leaves, whose Charm is selfless grace, What dower hovers in your lisping runes That thus you dare so near the heaven's face? What lovers lorn, O craving Leaves, are you, The thankless clouds eternally to woo? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
