Autumn Hours.
By wM. W. LoSG

Oh sad, sweet autumn hours,
OF muttering storms and rain,
Thou contest with woe and sadness
And gloomy hours of pain
With bowling winds and tcmpests,
Mourning for The days gone by,
With blight upouthy garments,
Bidding The flowers die.
Thou tell'st of foud hopes persisted,
or sweet ones passed away
With the beautiful mowers faded
In the glorious summer day
All, sad are the leailess bowers
And sad are the hills so brown,
While through the air like gems Of gold
Flutter the leaflets down
With eager hands, and fearless,
We would lift the futures veil
But our hearts would sink with horror,
Our cheeks grow cold and pale,
II we knew what friends around rs
With throbbing hearts to day
Would fall in the hands Of the reaper,
And pass forever away.
