The summer flowers are dying, dead;
IT'S time TO gather in the grain;
The faded leaves are round US spread,
But yet the autumn fruits remain.
Then yield we not our hearts 10 grief;
The fruit is better than the leaf.
Nor may we, though our youth be past,
With all its buds and brght.eyed flowers,
Send forth our sighs upon the blast,
And cloud the sky with fearful showers.
Oh rather shall our minds mature
To fruits Of worth that shall endure.
So, when the winter OF our life
Shall creep all coldly on,
And summer. with its lighter Joys,
Shall faded be, and gone.
Well turn US to our winter store,
Nor sigh 10 :hink the summer o'er.
