LATE ASTERS, by                    
First Line: Where wonted, luscious sweets of scent
Last Line: Are golden treasure-trove from malabar.
Subject(s): Asters; Flowers; Gardens & Gardening; Hearts; Love


Where wonted, luscious sweets of scent
And swirl of rain-bow colors blent
Gay witchery in genial rioting,

Proud asters ride their prancing stems
Like gallant knights, whose requiems
Defy the sun's late-summer setting;

Undaunted, facing circumstance and chill
With smile's bright guerdon of good-will,
To fend each stroke of autumn's scimitar.

Love's riches, burgeoning in slender care
And lavish beauty when that bloom is rare
Are golden treasure-trove from Malabar.
