Orthp hues ha, herp, kpd her with embroidery bright,
Now sleeps in tn embrace &C ie zee and the slee',

The bright sireameis then danced IN their beauv AM
10 their own dulcet music that cnlvend the earth: r h,
The birds with their songs and he sweet breath Of flower
Sent forth their pure worship from The fields and bowers
While the monrni,l night wind with us sweet serenade,
Paid irs tribute of love 10 the beautiful maid,
In the height of her glory The earth then was dres'
And her praises echoed from The 10 The "es'.
Now alas she has lost all her beauty and brightness
Her youth has vanished with its charms and ts light"
The season ul fashion with her is over, mesa
Aud with her ,ourg beauty bath lied every lover.
Since her charms have all gone like The brief joy ofdeams
No Incense is Offered from her woodland or streams
The winds that welcomed with music her morn,
Vow whistle and hiss in III" height cf their
flushed is the voice oi her nure singing
Just such is the fate Of Earlh's fames daughters!
But, dear honored ratons, let not the cold Earth
Ever lessen your JOYS or dsmreo Your mirrh:
Brigh, and warm be he fire. around which Won move.
