October.

Solemn, yet beautiful to view,
 Month ef my heart thou dawnest here, With sad and faded leaves to strew
 The Autumn's melancholy bier. The moaning of thy winds hear,
 As the red sunset dies afar, And bars Of purple cloues sppeab
 Obscuring every western star. look to Nature and behold,
 My life's dim emblems rastling round In hues of crimson and of gold
 The years dead honors on the ground: And sIghing with the winds feel,
 While their low voices murmnr by, How much their sweeping tones reveal Of life and human destiny.
