For the Spirit Of the Age.
The Departure Of Summer.

The Departure Of Summer.
by RANSOM.
The low'ry lawn no more doth ring
With notes Of sweet compose
The woody song-ters cease to sing
Their songs at evenings close.
The lovely fields, arrayed in green,
Have lost their verdant dress
And in the vale no more is seen
The roses ornate tress.
The wooded glen where flowers bloom
Where fairies oft repair ;
Have lost their fragrance and perfume,
Upon the desert air.
The Zephyr's voice among the trees,
Doth chant in wanton glee;
Or gayly blow, n gentle breeze
From Ger the shady lea.
The gurgling waters Of the stream,
Rush down its pebbled bed
Where oft the pure, transparent beam,
OF Cynthia is shed.
Yet on It's shore no howerets strew,
Their rcdolence so rare,
For autumn's breath hath chilled the few
That grew in beauty there.
The rural wood its robe has lost,
Though yerdure was its caste;
For giant winds each bow doth toss,
Now naked with the blast.
The winds doth chant n lonely knell,
Which tells Of fading years
II bloweth Ger the laurelled dell
Sweet music from the spheres.
No garland now can Love entwine,
Or euronal to grace;
It's halcyon and elysian shrine
A sacred, holy place.
No nightingale by dulcet strain,
Doth bring the wearied rest
Or lull To ease the latent pain
S%ccreted in the breast.
Yes, summers gone its roseate bow'rs
Once glist'ning with the dew
Have disappeared mid other flow'rs,
In spring to bloom anew.
And Autumn now il on the wane,
We feel the nascent blast
Reminding us that his bright reign,
Ger earth will soon be past.
A lesson here, the callous hearts
OF men are taught to know
That all the treasures earth imparts,
Arc but n fancied show.
Tho FIAT when tits Numbered forth,
Will melt to Lethean night,
The vain delusive things Of earth
Which pleaseth now the sight.
