THE DYING YEAR.


Scant leaves upon the aspen,
Shake golden in the sun;
Old year, thy sins are many,
Thy sand is almost run. i1kl
The beach tree, brazen orange,
Burns like sunset down; l.
Old year, thy grave is ready;
Doff scepter, robe and crown.
The elm a yellow mountain,
Is shedding leaf by leaf; tf"g
The rains in gusts of passion 'g,sf
Pour forth their quenchless grief;
The winds like banchees mourning,
Wall in the struggling wood;
Old year pat off thy splendor,
And don thy funeral hood.
al
Lay down thy golden glories;
The bare boughs bar the sky
Skeletons wild and warning,
Quaking to see the die.
Thou hast lived thy life, remember;
Now lay thee down and rest,
The grass shall grow above thy head,
And the flowers above thy breast.
