HARVEST FIELDS.
ny MARY itowi1r.

In the young and merry time Of spring,
When clover gins to burst;
When blue bells nod within the wood,
And sweet May whitcns first;
When merle and muvis sing their fill,
Greon is the young corn on the hill.
But when the merry spring is post,
And summer groweth bold,
And in the garden and tho field
A thousand flowers unfold;
Before the green leaf yet Is sore,
The young corn shoots into the ear.
But then, as day and night succeed,
And summer weareth on,
Aud in the nowery garden beds
The red rose groweth wan,
And hollyhocks, and sunnowcrs tall,
O'ertop the messy garden wall.
When on the breath of autumn breeze,
From pastures dry and brown,
Coos floating, like an idle thought,
The fair, white thistle down
oh, then, what Joy to walk nj will,
Upon the golden harvest hill
What Joy In dreamy case to lie
Amid field new shorn,
And see all round, on sun-lit slopes,
Tho piled-up shocks Of corn,
And send the fancy wandering DER
All pleasant harvest fields Of yore.
l feel the day see the field;
The quivering of the leaves
And good old Jacob and his house
Binding the yellow sheaves;
And at this very hour seem
To be with Joseph in his dream.
see the fields Of Bethlehem,
And reapers many n one,
Bending under their sickle's stroke,
And Boaz looking on.
And Ruth, the Moabitess fair,
Among the CLEANERS stopping there.
Again: SEQ little child,
His mothers sole delight;
Gods living gift of love unto
The kind, good Shunnmito;
To mortal pnngs | see him yield,
And tho lad bear him from the field.
Tho sun-bnthed quiet Of the hills;
The fields of Gallilec,
That eighteen hundred years agone
Were full of corn, | see;
And the dear Saviour take his way
Mid ripe ears on the Sabbath day.
o golden fields of bending corn,
How beautiful they seem!
The reaper-folk, the piled up sheaves,
To me are like dream;
The sunshine, and the very air,
Seom Of old time, and take me there.
