Excerpt from When Goldenrod Blooms, and Other Poems While a feeling that we're standing Within Heaven's ante-room, Abides, like a benediction, While the goldenrod's in bloom. Dreamily the cow - bells tingle At the closing of the day, And the music wafted to us Seems so far, so far, away! As if coming down dim, shaded ways From fields where children trod, Driving home the gentle cattle By hedgerows of goldenrod. In the hazy, shimmering sunshine Thoughts of Auld Lang Syne are writ, And loved voices are borne to us On the breezes, as they flit Through fair scenes of gold and crimson, O'er the drooping, feathery plume Of the queen of autumn flowers, Sceptered goldenrod a-bloom. Now is one with all the future And with days that have passed by, Things not seen speak through the things seen Of a glorious by and by. Unseen power draws the heart life Nearer to the loving God, When bright sunbeams are entangled In the smiling goldenrod.
