Lone trembling one!
Last of Summer race, withered and scar,
And Observation-Disclosures art thou lingering
here?
Thy work is done.
Thou hast seen al!
The Summer flowers reposing in their tomb
And the green leaves, that knew thee in thy
bloom,
Wither and fall.
Why didst thou cling
So fondly to the rough and saplcss tree?
Hath then existence aught like charms for thee,
Thou faded thingl
The voice of Spring,
Which woke thee into being, ne'cr ngan
Will greet thee-n0r the gentle Summers rain
New verdlire bring.
The zephyr's breath,
No more will wake for thee its melody
But the lone signing efthe blast shall be
Thy hymn of death.
Yet few DAYS.
4 few faint struggles with the Autumn Storm
And the strained eye to catch thy trembling
form
In vain may gaze.

With weight and with chain.
