Here is the full text of the poem:
INDIAN SUMMER
BY L. M. MONTGOMERY
In the sun-warm valleys all sweet and low,
Shy, tender murmurs come and go
And the peak of a far, light-smitten hill,
Perfect peace of a year fulfilled
Cometh now when the world is stilled
In a golden completeness no storms molest
