In a Garden Annotated

The world is resting without sound or motion,
&nbsp Behind the apple tree the sun goes down
Painting with fire the spires and the windows
&nbsp In the elm-shaded town.

Beyond the calm Connecticut the hills lie
&nbsp Silvered with haze as fruits still fresh with bloom,
The swallows weave in flight across the zenith
&nbsp On an aerial loom.

Into the garden peace comes back with twilight,
&nbsp Peace that since noon had left the purple phlox,
The heavy-headed asters, the late roses
&nbsp And swaying hollyhocks.

For at high-noon I heard from this same garden
&nbsp The far-off murmur as when many come;
Up from the village surged the blind and beating
&nbsp Red music of a drum;

And the hysterical sharp fife that shattered
&nbsp The brittle autumn air,
While they came, the young men marching
&nbsp Past the village square. . . .

Across the calm Connecticut the hills change
&nbsp To violet, the veils of dusk are deep—
Earth takes her children's many sorrows calmly
&nbsp And stills herself to sleep.
