Few are the hocrs Of light and hiss;
To kiss the, dews to shed perfume

Die--as die the clouds--away. m

Through Summer. Autumn, Winter pass
Through heat and cold their little dag

They smile---contented with their fate
They smile and die--ths desolaiei
Yet even that little life is glcom'd
In sorrow ;--pilser'd by the bee,
By the rough storm wind shaken doom'd
To the worm cankerd atomy,
A misty morn--a frosty hour
Deadens the leaves and kills the flower.
O, spare them--spare them in their reign,
Their swift and feeble reign--so short
When longest and at best SO vain
