Ny LIFE is LIKE THE SUMNER ROSE.

Nv life 10 like the sumner rose
That Of ems to the morning sky,
And ere the shades Of evening close,
Is scattsred on the ground to die!
Yet on that roses humble bed
The softest dews Of night are 1hed,
As though she wept such waste t, see,-
But none shall drop a tear for me-
NV life 10 like the autumn leaf, o
That trembles in the moons pale ray,
Its hold is frail--its date is brief
Restlea-and soon to pass away!
Yet, when that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The wind bewsil the leaaess tree,
But nome shall breathe one sigh fer me!
NV life 10 like the track Of feet,
Left upon Tampa's desert stand;
Soon!as the rising tide shall beat,
Their marks shall vanish from the sand;
Yet, as il g~revious to efface
All vestage of the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the sea,
But none shall thus lament for me!
