I happened on a country lane,
A long lane that was turning
Autumnwards from summer heights
With steps of scarlet hue;
I And yet beneath its gayety
Or gold and crimson burning
The little lane I stumbled on
Was running -that I knew.
It clutched the fellowship of grass
Whose finger-tips were graying,
It hurriedby the lazy bloom
Of asters near a wall,
And to the festive maple trees
With whom some pines were :tray-

that is the mature hog.
