with the TRAILING Robe Of Summer.

With the trailing robes of summer,
And the humIning OF the bee;
With the mild, delicious murmur,
Of the azure, laughing sea,
Came joyous, merry spirit,
With the sunshine iii her face,
Singing Songs Of mellow sweetness
With fairy's artless grace.
Sing, We birds, your softest music;
Hum, ye droWsY, little bees;
Darling Minnie, happy Minnie,
Wander wheresde'er You please
Gather blossoms, dewy blossoms,
For your glorious, golden hair;
Pretty pinks and dainty daisies
Crown your brow, SO wondrous fair!
Fill your hands with blossoms starry,
From the hills and from the dells
Bring up lilies, light-born lilies
From their cool and limpid cells.
Sing, ye birds, your softest music;
Hum, ye drowsy, little bees;
Darling Minnie, happy Minnie,
Wander wheresoe'er you please.
AS we sing that angel Minnie
Joins no more our happy play;
With the waning Of the summer
Passed her lovely soul away,
Like a white rose, faded withered,
Fell she on the yerdant sod;
Like bright star, risen newly,
Shines she in thecrown of God.
Happy Minnie, angel Minnie
Joined with that celestial throng,
Now you taste dearer rapture,
And you sing sweeter song.
