THE FALL OF THE OAK.

ny GEORGE HILL.
A glorious tree is the old gray Oak,
He has stood for thousand years,
Has stood and fiowned
On the trees around,
Like king among his peers;
As round their king tn y stand, so now,
When the flowers their pale leaves fold,
The tall trees round him stand, arrayed
In their robes of purple and gold
He has stood Ike a tower
Through sun and shower,
And dared the winds TO battle;
He has heard the hail,
A from plates Of mail,
From his own limbs shaken, rattle;
He has tossed them about, an shorn tho tops
when the storm had reused his might
OF the forest trees asa strong man doth
The heads Of his foes in fight.
The autumn sun looks kindly down,
But the frost is on the lea,
And sprinhles tho horn
OF the owl at morn,
as she HES TO the old oak tree.
Not leaf is srr'd;
Not sound his heard
But the thump of the ihreslcrs fail,
The low winds sigh,
Or the distant cry
OF the hound on the fox's trail
The forester lie has wls,ling plunsd
With his axe in The deep wood ) gloom,
That shrouas the HILL
Where few and chill
The sunbcams struggling come:
Ills brawny arm he has barred, and laid
His axe at the root of the tree
The gray old Oak,
And with lustry stroke,
He wolds it merrily
With lustry stroke
And the old gray oak
Through the folds of his gorgeous vest,
You may see him shake,
And the nigh, owl break
From her perch in his loafy crest.
She will come but to find him gone from wher
He stood at the break of day;
Like cloud that peals rs 1t mcIts to mir,
He has passed. with crash, away.
Tho the spring in the bloom and the frost in gol,
No more his limbs attire
On the stormy wave
He shall float, md brave
The blast and The battle fire!
Shall spread his white wings to the wind,
And thunder on the deep,
As he thunderd when
Ills btu III was green,
On the high and stormy steep!
