The Withered Leaves.

They are falling thick and rapidly,
Before the autumn breeze,
And sudden sound of mournfulness
Is heard among the trees,
Like wailing for the scattered leaves,
So beautiful and bright,
Thus dying in their sunny hues
Of lovelinees and light.
The wind that watts them TO their doom
Is the same that swept along
In the freshness of their summer time,
And blessed them with its song
That voice is still the merry one
That mid the sunshine fell
We are not missed, We glowing leaves,
By thu friend We loved so well
But yet no fearful fate is yours,
No shuddering at decay,
No shrinking from the blighting gust
That bears your life away:
The spring tide, with it's singing birds,
Hath long ago gone by
Ye had your time to bloom and live,
Ye have your time to die.
Oh, would that we, the sadder ones,
Would hnger on the earth,
Like ye might wither when our lives
Had parted with their mirth;
Y4glOw with beauty to the last,
And brighten with decay,
You know not of tho mental war
That wears the heart away.
Ye have no memories to recall,
No SORROWS to lament,
No secret WEAKNESS of soul
With all your pleasures blent;
To us alone the lot is cast,
To think, to love, to feel
Alas how much of human wo
Those few brief words reveal!
