The Death of August Derleth (2) (1909-1971)

Wisconsin winds are chill: Hawk and whippoorwill Are mourning in the skies When their poet dies. And at the Lonesome Place Spirits fill the space With whispers on the breeze Billowing the trees. Wisconsin winds will blow Summers into snow, But winds of Fame will sing Evening in Spring.
