Summer ana autumn.
BY GEO. ARNOLD.

GeOrgeous leaves are whirling down.
Homeward comes the scented hay;
Ger the stnbble. scar and brown,
Flaunt the autumn flowers cav:
All. alas.
Summers pass
Like our joys they pass away!
Famed by many balmy breeze,
In the spring love to lie
Meath the newly budded trees.
Gazing upward to the sky;
But alas.
Time will pass,
And the flowers of spring must die.
Oft my maiden sat with me.
Listening to the thrush's tone,
Narbed forth from every tee
Ere the meadow hay was mown:
But, alas.
Summers passed.
Now. | wander all alone,
Love. like summertime. is fair.
Decked with buds and blossoms CAV
But upon this autumn air
Floats voice which seems to sav.
Loves. alas!
Also pass.
As the summers pass awav.'
