She hath gone, toe gorgeous su,h'"e'
Vel ON path, and wood, and hill
The traces of her rosy ieet
Are lingering brightly st'll;
And. as the sunlight paling
On evening leaves its flush,
In the shadowy arms Of Autumn
Still we revel in her blush.
Ar, thou gone, oh! lovely summers
lam wandering where the trees,
The Grand high priests OF nature,
Suing their censeIs TO the breeze;
swing neriumes ON the hazy air,
while through the arches dim
Come. far, and sweet and sclemnly
Their murmured, mystic hymn.
| am wandering through the forests.
Through the summer woods-bnt 10!
There droops and sways yellow nag
Amid the green beach boueh,
And from The tufts Of waving fern
Spring shafts If paly gold,
And The long grass. 'plaineth whisperinsly
When rising winds are bold.
And the balm flower by the streamlet,
The thislle-down that sails,
fairy craft DER mount and mead
Urged on by mimic gales,
The golden rod bright slancing
Where The cslm and sunny light
Falls lricklng through The woven leaves
These whisper OF Thy flight.
Alasl alas! for summer gone,
Alas! when death his snow
Shall heap upon her rosy lips
And on her radiant brow
Alasl alas for darker days
When Nature, pale with dread,
Shall stand, a stricken Niobe,
Alone amid her dead.
