POETRY.
Harvest Hymns.
BY WHITTIER.

Once more the liberal year laughs out
Ger richer stores than gems or god;
Once more with harvest song ana shout
Is natures boodless triumph told.
Our common mother rests and sings
Like Ruth among her garnered sheaves;
Her lap is full of goodly things,
Her brow Is bright with autumn leaves.
oh, favors old, yet ever new;
oh blessings with the sunshine sent!
The bounty over-runs our due,
The funess shames our discomfort.
We shut our eyes, the flowers bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn-ears fill;
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts it shines behind US still.
God gives us with our rugged soil
The power to make it Eden fair,
And richer fruits to crown our toll
Than summer-wedded islands bear.
Who murmurs at his lot to-day?
Who scorns his native fruit and bloom,
Or signs for dainties far away ..-.
Besides the bounteous board Of home?
Thank Heaven, instead, that freedoms arm
Can change a rocky soil to gold;
That brave and generous lives can warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And by these affairs wreathed with flowers,
And fields with fruits, awake again
THANKSGIVING for the golden hours,
The early and the later rain.
