The Dea fh Of Summer.

BY the length ming twilight hours:
BY the chill and fragrant showers;
BY the fow'rets pale and faded;
By the leaves with russell shaded;
BY the gray and clouded morn;
BY the dropping ears Of corn;
By the meadows oversprend
With the SPIDERS wavy thread;
BY the soft and shadowy sky;
By the thousand tears that lie
Every weeping bongh ben cath
Summer, we perceive thy death!
Summer, all thy charms are past;
Summer, thou art wasting fast;
Scarcely one of all thy roses
On thy faded brow reposcs.
Thrush and nightingale have long
Ceased to WOO thee with their song;
And. on every lonely height
Swallows gather for their flight
While the wild winds dreary tone,
Sweeping through the valleys lone,
Sadly signs, with mournful breath,
Requiems for sweet Summers death.
