AUTUMN.
- wEHT Sabbath Of the year.
~ While evening light decay,
Thy parting steps methinks 1 hear
steal from the world away.
Amid thy silent flowers
IT'S sad but sweet to dwell
Where falling leaves and dropping flowers
Around me breathe farewell.
Along thy sunset skies
Their glories melt in shade
And like the tbinys We fondly prize,
Seem iovelief 10 they fade.
A deep and crimson streak
Their dying leaves disclose;
As on consump,ion's waning check,
Mid ruin blooms the rose.
Thy scene each vision brings
or beauty in decay;
or fair and early faded things,
Too exquisite to stay.
or joys that come no more
Offowers whose bloom is ned
OF farewells wept upon tho shore
Offfisnds cslrsnged or dead:
or all that now may seem,
To meniory's fearful eye,
The vanished beauty of dream,
Der which we gaze and sigh.
