MIDDLE AGE.

Fair time of calm resolye-of sober thought.
Quiet halfway hostelry on lfe's long road,
Ia which to rest and re-adjust our load!
High tableland, TO which we have been brought
By stumbling steps Of ill.directed toll
Season when not to achieve 10 to despair!
Last field for us Of . full fruitful soil
Only spring tide our freighted alma to bear
Onward to an our yearning dreams have sought!
How art thou changed Once to our youthful eyes
Thin silverng locks and thoughts imprinted lines
or sloping age gave weird and wintry signs;
But now these trophies ours, we recognize
Only voice faint ripping TO its shore,
And weak, totteripg step as marks OF Ed.
None are SO far but some are on before:
Thus still at distance is the goal beheld,
And to improve the way is truly wise.
Farewell, ye blossom'd hedges! and the deep
Thick green Of Summer on the matted bough!
The lapguid Autumn mellows round us now:
Yet fancy may its vernal beauties keep,
Like holly leaves for December wreath.
To take this gift Of life with trusting hands,
And star with heavenly hopes the night of death,
Is all that poor humanity demands
To lnll its meaner fears In easy sleep.
