Upon the browa and far.of Mills Il
The haze lies soft aud blue. a ~
While mats are dropping thick AID fast
Where Summer Wild nowers grew.
The naples gold and crimson leaves
Like blood stained banners CLEAN,
Aud purple astors ope their bloom
Beside each purple stream.
The weeds like some grand temple stand
+ Bsseath the glowing skies 2.
while down the long, dim aisles the hare
Like slumb ring Incense lies.
No organs deep, majestic note. .r.
Come pealing on the air
Nochoral strain triumphant floats
Along those arches fair.
No voice /. heard-no sound, save but
Tn. brooklet's rip ling how,
Or whistliug quail In covert thick,
Where scarlet berries grow.
PeIehapce some frightened rabbit. tread
May wake an echo there,
Or drowsy hum Of honey bee
Fall on the dreamy air.
The sunnower aud the golden rod
Their CANDY hues unfold,
And seem as II some Midas touch
Had changed them into gold.
The grapes in purple clusters hang
Upon the clinging vine,
And In the orchard, mid the leaves,
The ruby apples shine.
But through the forests Ger the hills
Avoice came whisp ring low
IL murmurs Of the wintry winds
And OF the falling snow.
The crim.,ncd leave. to earth must fall,
And brcezes per them sigh,
oh sad II seems, that aught so fair
Should ever fade or die.
We read on every falling leaf
This lesson most sabine:
That resurrecton's holy power
EMAIL triumph over time.
For though the summer flowers must fade.
The Spring with sun and rain
Shall call them from the hill aud vale
To bud and bloom again.
