All Nature sleeps, my love. see
The freshness from the grass has hod
The flowery shrubs that feast the beo
Their lastEweet buds this year have spread
The orchards bare of fruit the grain
Is gather'd; the husbandnan is blest
Leaves fall from forest trees like rain
While wearied Autumn sinks to rest
Old Winter soon will spread his guilt
OF flaky snow Ger slumb'ring ROOTS
That love the moisture softly split
Upon their clayey couch till shoots
Their sap again, when Spring sends round
Her sprites to call new life from death
Then Beauty, stirr'd. will strew the ground
With fresh blown blossoms from her breath
And such the sleep We all must sleep.
And such the life we all must lead;
Our flesh like grass to dust must creep,
Our souls, my love, can never.fade.
Our acts are but as blooms that rise
From joyous youth to witherd age;
Our grave g the entrance to the skies,
Our death another title page.
