Brings to mind the now totally politically incorrect 1907 (the date explains it) article in the Chicago Tribune by John T. McCutcheon entitled “Injun Summer”.
I loved seeing it every fall during my childhood and fully understand why it is no longer published.
Thank you for providing this unknown poem to me. I see nothing wrong with it, but am willing to accept it for what it was, a piece of its time, which having passed, left this to us.
Many people my age first met Teasdale in the short story by Ray Bradbury about the robotic house that keeps functioning when its humans are dead and gone. “There will come soft rains”, woven through the story very effectively. Perhaps the story is now as quaint as Teasdale’s nursery. Thank you for sharing this!

I was just re-reading that story last week, after stumbling across the Teasdale poem again.
