Excerpt from The Visit of Apollo: This Bit of A S A Tale of the Times, Depicted in Simple and Readable Ryhmes
Canto I.
Last Autumn while having a sociable time,
Mid the rustle of leaves and the smell of the thyme, -
Far out in the woods where the dryads still croon
Their happiest rhythm and merriest tune,
I was suddenly roused by the sound of a tread
In the forest path lying a little ahead.
Scarce a minute elapsed until within view,
Came Apollo, Athena, and wee Cupid, too.
With a swinging step onward they came with an air
Of such freedom and health and of joy that's so rare,
That I stopped on the trail and with eyes opened wide.
Stood admiring their mold and magnificent stride.
For each was imbued with the limitless wealth
Of a full and a perfect original health;
They seemed to be strangers to weakness and woes;
To Cares and all burdens, - inclusive of clothes.
