THE WINTER MORN.


The air is crisp and singing sharp
With frost fakes floating down,
The low hung clouds lie piled apart
A smoke wreath DER the town.
The slanting ray Of southern sun
Athwart my pathway shines;
With luster bright, or pale and wan,
This changing scene combines.

And sock the sky 10 scan;
hasten TO my tasks with might,
To clear the way the van.

send my gaEe before,

For those my efforts pour.
Out on the gray hilps snowy brow,
On forest branches dark,
On landscape lying calmly now,

But folded as a written scroll
And tied with bonds Of fato,
We may not pierce the future goal
But only work and wait
