WONDROUS AUTUMN TINE.

Ruler OF the waning year
low calm while SIMMER fingers here
L. thine enchanted sleep
When mu,,nuting woods are full of songs,
And an green leaves are whispering tongues,
And fields grow rich and deep.
TIL Weakened by the shrillng sound
OF the sharp scythe along the ground,
Through Natures Towering heart, -
Or shouts OF incnnd harvest homc,
That down the cChoing valleys come.
From laughing hills apart
How calm splendor ever lies
Within thy royal waking eyes.
Owonirous Autumn timel
Like the glory round a good mans head
When angels light about his bed,
And wakou thou hts sublime.
And who could dream yon soft, sweet light
Were herald 81 the years dark night,
AMI north winds stormy breath
That all these tiuts Of red and gold.
Burning through every starry fold,
Were signs of natures d ath!
Al, me thy coming stirs the sense
AT eygry portal calling thence
The troops OF awe aud fear.
We think perforce of DAYS gone by
And days that all as swiftly f,-
knowing thine erraud here.
We cannot with the swallow fee
And shuh the gloomy days that be
So full of winter SNOW;
Wepass into our orient land
Across dark seas. where some bright hani
Calls from the GeGps below.
Thou art the gloomy spirit Of all
The wondrous years that rise and fail
Within the glass of Time.
Thon vert in r creations bound
When first the chidlike earth swung round,
ENulting III her prime.
Born when the black pine crowned the hills,
And yiolets pierced the soil that fills
The elm trees rugged spurs;
When wore the thorn her snow-white crown,
And chestnut Spires fell softly down
Among the golden SURGE
Still thy dread p!nions, as Of old,
The sylvan hills and wales enfuld
Ger all the pTeading land:
And earths sweet face. once bright and mild
As the fair forehead Of a caild
Is Sc AIRED as with brand
And still mans conscious spirit feels,
While far and wide the east wind peals,
lis Gods aln.ighty breath
(Whie as in prayer all heaven Is bowed)
Ger hill and vale, blowing loud,
The autumn blast Of death.
