The blackbrd ushered in the morn
OF harvest days; they sang till noon,
And all the ripeAiiag, rustling corn
Shook, with the ripping songs in tune;
While Felix, from whose strong brown hand
The simplest work passed nobly done,
Bound up the shcaves with twisted bands
That shone like silver in the sun.
And when, pink blushing like the rose,
Came gentle maiden Marguerite,
Size crushed the rudy poppy blows
Beneath her little, happy feet
She pushed the bending leaves aside
With dimp.cd hands, in modest grace;
All loe girl 5 face gioriiied,
S Came close and took the sunshine's place.

And She had vanished down the lane;
But in her track the singing birds
G.tughfup the tender tunes again

This year too, Felix binds the grain;
But on the great, ripe, yellow ears
Of corn, the dew and summeg rains
Shine with his softly falling tears.
For maiden Marguerite is gone!
But lifted to nobler sphere,
Her memory stays-clear, like the dawn
The flower of her sweet Summers here.
In life, in death Tie reapers come;
The harvests reddcn, ripe and sweet;
BIZ. last years sweetest songs are dumb
This year with grief for Marguerite.
