OCTOBER EVENING.

Along the road, see, on the hedge

laugh bunches of red berries;

in the ploughed fields move homewards to the stall

slowly the oxen.

his slow step through sharp-rustling leaves:

in the fields a maiden raises to the wind her song:

_Flower of the thornbush!_

“_Primavera_” and “_Dolcezze_.” One little touch in the latter may

perhaps be given.
