AMONG THE HOLLYHOCKS. By CLARA THWAITES.

Previous
Sing among the hollyhocks,
"Summer, fare thee well!"
Ring the drooping blossoms
For a passing bell.
Droop the sunflowers, heavy discs
Totter to their fall.
Up the valley creep the mists
For a funeral pall.
Lingering roses woefully
In the cold expire.
Heap the dead and dying
For a funeral pyre.
While the gale is sighing,
While the wind makes moan,
Sigh among the hollyhocks
Of the summer flown.
"SIGH AMONG THE HOLLYHOCKS OF THE SUMMER FLOWN." "SIGH AMONG THE HOLLYHOCKS
OF THE SUMMER FLOWN."
