Is this a time to be cloudy and sad,
And calls and cries, and tread of eager feet,
To the soft winds, the sun from the blue sky
Entwined the chaplet round;
A genial optimist, who daily drew
The blackened hill-side; ranks of spiky maize

In wayward, aimless course to tend,

And scorched by the sun her haggard brow,
When breezes are soft and skies are fair, All in their convent weeds, of black, and white, and gray. And far in heaven, the while,
Save that of God, when he sends forth his cold,
