AUTUMN.

Came jeweled autumn. lowering DER the world,
A radiant being. on her gorgeous wing,
She saw, in verdant, swayng patches spread,
The mystic forests; saw the branches swing
Their emerald ,pennons in the softened air;
And heard the silken moan that loated by,
Then loosed million braids Of dainty hair
Till auburn glories streamed along the sky.
Forth from the folded purple of her robes,
She plucked a fairy sceptre, gold embossed,
with myriad drops of light.
The gift of God-the gem work of the frost.
She waved the sceptre over wood and wold,
Till Earth was diamond-sprent. Through forests
green
A color ran, and left waste Of gold,
With amethyst empurpled in its sheen

Thy throne the conquered woodland. and thy crow

Beneath thy chilling feet thou st laid thy hand
Upon the taper leaved, wind shaken maize;
The orchards reel in wealth at thy command:
The vineyards blush and own thy queenly ways.
