Last day of August....

 EMILY DICKINSON's poem about the passing of summer........
 As Imperceptibly as Grief

 The Summer lapsed away
 Too imperceptible at last to seem like perfidy.
 A Quietness distilled

 As twilight long begun

Sequestered Afternoons

The Dusk drew earlier in

 The Morning foreign shone

 A courteous, yet harrowing Grace

 A Guest that would be gone

 And thus, without a Wing
 Or service of a Keel
                                
 Our Summer made her light escape......

 Into the Beautiful.............................
