Indian Summer

Read "Indian Summer" at The Eldritch Dark:

This is a minor love poem from Clark Ashton Smith (CAS), wherein the narrator muses on "the love I felt for you in autumns past."  For all its brevity, this is a verse that couldn't really have been written by anyone except CAS, for who else would have used a phase like "necromantic sun" in a poem devoted to romantic recollections!
