1SONG OF THE "D" STRING.

3I.

5When the woods glow with tintings intense

6Like an orchestra, forest-immense,

7Bursting forth in some carnival scene

8Where the blare of the brass is bright redness,

9And the gold of the strings yellow deadness,

10Inwoven with reed-tones of green;

12II.

14'T is the work of the god of the Fire

15Who with sparks of a vengeful desire

16Fiercely sets all the woodlands ablaze,

17Till they glow like the cloud-racks resplendent

18Which at Night's pond'rous portals are pendent

19And beacon the dying of days.
