HUSH, moaning autumn wind. be still, he still.
Thy grieying voics forbiddeth hearts TO rest
We hear thee sweeping down the lonely hill,
And mournful thoughts steal DER the hun'a"
breast,
Why wilt thou haunt Us, with thy voice unkind,
Sadd'ning the earth' Hush, moaning autumn
wind.
Toss not the branching trees no wildly high.
Filling the forest with thy dreary sound:
Without THY aid the hues Of summer die,
And the scar leaves fall scatter'd TO the ground
Thou dost but hasten, neediessly unkind,
the winters task, thou moaning autumn wind
Sweep not through Oceans caves with hollow
roar,
Driving our fair ships to some rock -5ounS
strand.
While the vex'd sea foams wraihful to the shore
The eailor's wife looks shuddering from tn
land,
And widow'd hearts for many a year shall i'm.
Death in thy voice, thou moaning autumn wind
Round our calm dwellings, when our hearts ar
gay,
Roam not, oh bowling Spirit Of Despair.
A though thou vert creature seeking prey,
And where the land iook'd richest, found
there.
We have enough Of memories unkind,
Without thy voice, thou moaning autumn wind
Thee the sad mourner lists. and turns to weep
In the blank silence of her lonely home;
The sick man hears and starts from brokel
sleep,
And the night-wanderer sighs--cempell'd t
roam;
While the poor shiver, for their huts unkind
Bar thee not out. thou searching autumn wind
Back 10 the barren hIll and lonely glen!
Here let the wandering Of thy echoes cease;
Sadly thoa soundest 10 Inc hearts of men,
Hush tiny wild voice, and let the earth hav
peace;
Or, n no chain thy restless will can bind.
Sweep through ths desert, moaning autum
wind.

For the stars that burn above thee,
Are not ruer than my vow

As the moon unto the night,
Our love il 10 my bosom
Its sweetness and its light.
Oh, think not less love thee,
That thy hand ] thus resign
In tho heav'n that bends above thee,
will claim thee yet as mine.
Through the vision Of LIES morning
Ever fitted one like thee
And thou, Life's lapse adorning,
Shalt hence that vision be.

"Ny life is Ike the summer rose

As If she wept the waste 10 SOC
Bat none shall weep a tear for me.
"My life Is Ike the autumn leaf
That trembles In the moons pale raw,
It's hold Is frsil-its date Is brief,
Restless and soon TO pass away.
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree will mourn its SHADE,
The wines bewsil the ieafess tree,
But none shall breathe sigh for me.
my life is like the prints which feet
Have lett on 1ampa's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet, as if grieying 10 efiace

On that loan shore loud means the sea-
But none, alas. shall mourn fer me"'

Burn "a sueam) was sought to be made a

Burns; but personal associations, as we
have already observed, having no effect in
this species Of mania, some divergcd into
Burnes; while others, determining to sever
definitely all connection with poetical i'm
mortality, called themselves Burmese. Mil,
in like manner, was made Mills, and was
then sunk entirely in Milne; and Home
became Hume; and Hume, Hume. John,
on the same principle, is pluralized john,
and this made into Johnes, and Jones.
