The Dance of the Autumnal Leaves.

Borne by the restless winds along
Where the sorrowful woodland gricves,
Hither and thither ftful Thong,
MerTily dance the autumn leaves.
Upward they mount TO the musky sky,
Downward they plunge TO the earth below;
Now in a giddy whirl they 1y,
Now in madcaP chase they go.
Thinking gaily, their feet advance
Over the graves in thoughtless glce;
And the music to which they dance,
Hark! tits a dirgc's melody.
Onward merrily still they go
Through the wood and the wave,
Till they find in the wintry snow,
Chilly and dark, their lonely grave.
Borne by the tempter's power along,
While kind Heaven in pity grieyes,
Giddily pass the human throng
Thong hIcssly as the autumn leaves.
Upward they mount in fancics high,
Downward they plunge in pleasures low;
Now in the passions whirI they fly,
Now in Ambitions chase they go.
Mcrrily still their feet advance
Over the graves in thOughtless glec;
AnC he music to which they dance,
Hark tits dirge of melody.
Onward! giddiIy on they 60.
Over the earth and over the wave,
Till they find in the depths below,
Chilly and dark, their lonely grave.
