SUMNER.

Like maiden lightly laden,
Silken Summer sweet and fair,
With the flowers wreathed by hours
In her flowing golden hair.
Comes in shadows o'er the meadows
SIewing sunshine everywhere.
Winds are blowing bland and sowing
Life and fragrance on the breeze,
Orr Maying. blightely playing
Hide and seek me through the trees,
Orarc skipping light and tripping
Winesome dances o'er the seas.
Father, mother, sister, brother,
Youthful, aged. rich and poor,
Merrily weaving songs, are leaving
Gloomy room and dusky door,
For the fountains in the mountains
With their gladness running o'er.
What feeling must be stealing
Through the city's painting clay.
As the singing birds are finging
Hints about the fields away,
Where the showers clothe the flowers
In the velvet robe and gay.
Day resuming life is planfng
GianC pifions in the sky,
50 that slumber shall not cumber
Life and action till it die;
Waking every great endeavor
To the deed sublime and high.
Day reclining is resigning
Life and action to the night,
While the paling moon is falling
Ger the valleys sweet and light,
s. the spirit cannot bear it,
But in dreamland takes flight.
Lyid moonlight, palid moonlight,
Spreads sheet upon the plain.
While the cleaving brooks are weaving
Threads of silver with strain
Ofrich laughter babbling after
Lovers happy in their pain.
