Rewritten for the NATIONAL Ira
THE AUTUMN LEAF.
By BLANCHE BENNAIRDE


saw the budding trees put on their dress
/ In Springs sweet season, when she clothes tn
earth
In richest emerald robes, as if to bless
I For absence long and make us feel her worth;
Nor did dream that soon would dread decay
Come 0 er their FORMS and steal their charms away.
/ only saw the present; which to mo
Is ever bright and fair unless a storm
Darkens above my head and then see
No way to walk, but hide near Hopes fair form
Then Disappointment comes, and takes away
The things | love, though long with Hope stay.
The birds that once delighted now are flown;
Summer has gone, and chilling winds como near,
That tell of Winter with n dismal tone
Yet Hope is with me, and l cannot fear;
For though lose the birds that sweety sing
The Winters short-they come again in Spring.
see the autumn leaf crimson and gold
That trembles in tho air, though but breath
Is stirring; and to life doth scarcely hold,
Yet fondly cngs between its life and death
More beautiful it seems when just to leave,
Like the beloved and dear, whose loss we greve
And in its fall, how like to man it lies
On the cold earth, to mouldcr and decay
Its place scarce missed though long before the eyes
1t stood with others in bright array.
Now it has fallen, and awhile mourn
Because from sight its cherished form is torn.
Thou Autumn Leaf wither away and fall;
would not murmur, though l nee may see
Another Spring arrive, and with her call
Bring back the leaf and blossom to the tree;
I know she will return, and thus restore
Thy buried charms, though am here no more.
No more earth Yet yet beyond the tomb
see form that ever doth appear,
When earth is dark and overspread with gloom,
My path to brighten, and my heart to cheer
lis thou, blessed Hope the angel my way,
With whom, through darkest night, l see the day.
