AUTUMN.
Oh the merry brown wood birds are singing.
In the valleys of Autumn to-day,
With voices as sweet and as tender
As sung through the forest of May:
And the leaves, dropping slow through the
sunshine,
Are flushed with the Autumn aglow;
Alas that their glories are shrouding
The flowers that lie blighted below;
The beautiful blossoms of Summer
Strown, dead, over mountain and PLAIN
No odorous breath of morning
Will wake them to beauty again.
0 the birds of Gods mercy are singing
In our hearts sad Autumn, to-day,
With voices as loving and tender
As rung through our childhoods sweet May
But the fancies that drift thro our dreaming
With Hopes radiant beauty aglow,
Are the shrouds of the spirits dead blossoms
That lie in the silence below
The beautiful loves and believings
That charmed US from sorrow and pain
Will no odorouS breath of Heavens morning
Recall their sweetness again?
