Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... sun-embrowned, Bright eyes and eager faces, cluster round 'Mid deepening twilight, while the vine-grown walls Smile back the sunset, and the brooklet brawls Along its shallows from the pasture-ground. Once more creaks slowly by the laden wain; Swallows on slanted wings are wheeling low About the eaves; hints of warm summer rain Breathe in the air, and the long shadows grow; But here the children ne'er troop home again Through gathering dusk, as in the long-ago.

TWO LIVES ONCE--only once--she listened to the voice Of the arch-tempter; tender was her heart, And wiles of sin to her young maidenhood Were all unknown; her weak defenses broke, And then her world crashed round her. Argus-eyes Thronged all the highways, and the hedges swarmed With Peeping Toms; so with her shame she fled Into the desert place to shrive her soul.
