So,
likewise,
passed the
summer
with its
yellow
sunlight,
its
quivering
heat and
deep,
bosky
foliage,
its long
twilights
and its
mellow
nights,
through
which the
frogs
croaked
and fairy
folk were
said to be
out on the
hillsides.
All this
had passed
and the
time of
fall had
come,
bringing
with it
its own
pleasures
and
joyousness;
for now,
when the
harvest
was
gathered
home,
merry
bands of
gleaners
roamed the
country
