NOVEMBER.


81 said to it The rose of tho garden. a
you know, blooms but for a day and the seasol
Of roses is quickly gone" SAD.
All hail sad November,
With sere. rustling wreath,
Who bid'tt us remember
The coming Of Death
The crimsoned leaves hurry
All sadly away,
The last flowers to tury
That glad thy short day.
No gay bee 10 humming
Among the pale flowers;
Hoar winter is coming
To tenant the bowers.
No sweets they now offer
To WOO him TO roam
He hath filled his wax Golfer,
Sweet miser, at home.
The brooklet now singeth
A sorrowful song;
For no gay fowret springeth.
1s bleak margc along
its bank, late so sunny,
Is crusted with snow
The bee on its honey
Is banqueting now
The bright birds have vanished,
In search Of the spring:
Thy storm frown hath banished
Each beautiful thing:
Thou hast snatched from the ruin,
Its coronal fair;
Thy lorn gales are ~strewing
The leaves thickest there.
The grave Of the nader
Thou'st robbed Of its bloom ;
Its last bud is fading
Away in perfume;
And Hope from the bosom
Thou banishest too,
As thou fadest the blossom
With deadly mildew.
