AUTUMN.

III the bright hues of summer are faded, and gone
From the garden, the meadow, the woodland and
lawn;
Where late bloomed the lily, the violet and rose,
The sere leaves of autumn have crept to repose
They have drank from the fountain OF summer
bright urn,
But by Natures stern mandate to dust must reNufn
Now brown are the hi!l-tops and chilly the breeze,
That muters at night thro' the cold naked trees,
Where lately they houlished in beauteous array,
The green flowing drapery Of April and May.
There the storm-king hath swept with a riotous
sound,
And scattered the foliage of summer around;
The storm, in its wrath, hath denuded the bowers
Where Flora delighted to wreethe her sweet flow
ers;
The groves are all silent, the songsters are mute,
Pomona has passed with her basket of fruit
And sad was the sound of the farewell she said,
Like the groan of the dying, wall Ger the dead.
We feel a deep stirring, an answering tone,
In the fate of all things which resembles o,ir own.
Our days here are feeting, our sojonrn is brief,
We fade like the foweret, and fall like the leaf,
And our names are borne down by the current Of
time,
Unloved and unmourned, to Obliyion's cline.
With the eye of watcher intently we gaze
Thro' the lengthening vista Of lfe's rugged mare,
And our spirits leap forward with joy and delight,
TO that sumner-clad region, all splendid and
bright,
Where Eden's sweet bowers evermore green,
And God in His brightness forever is seen.

son, but when we reooliect that Time waits no
