A HARVEST SONG.

The toll of day is ended
The night is at her noon;
And the harvest song swells blthely up
Beneath the harvest moon
Then tread quicker measure,
And chant louder strain
With dance aud song the days prolong
That bring the golden grain.
From out the distant mountain
Comes the voice Of the cascade,
And the nearer CLEAN OF silver stream
Makes glad the silent glade
Through all the shadowy forest
Is heard the fall of leaves
And the timid hare treads slealthily
Among the nodding sheaveS.
And now on every hillside,
The purple vintage glows;
As when deeper radience ials
From daylight at its close
No time it is for sadness
Dependency or fear.
When Autumn comes in gladness.
lie crown the fruitful year.
Dear is the pleasant time
When all is soft around
When frost imprisoned rivulets
Are melting into. sound.
And dear, too is the season
When Spring and Summer meet
When woods are faint with odors,
And the bills are dim with heat.
But Spring is but for pasture,
Aud Summer but for show
While Autum, like a crowned king,
Has riches to bestow;
So he shall be the monarch
or all the shining year.
And crown he shall wear a sceptre bCa
Cftruits, aud the golden ear.
