A Still Day in Autumn.

love to wander through the woodlands hoaTy
In the soft gloom of aI autumnal day,
when summer gathers up her rol5s OF glory,
And like dream Of beauty, glides away.
How through each loved, familiar path she
SeIenely smiling through the golden mist,
Tlnting the wild grape with her dewy fingers,
TAI the cooling emerald turns amethyst.
Kindling the faint stars ofthc hazel, shining
10 llght the gloom of Autumns mouldefing
with hOary pIumes the clematis entwining,
where Der the rock her withered garland
falls.
Warm lights are on the sleepy uplands waning
Beneath dark clouds along the horizon
Till the slant sunbeams through fringes rain
Bathe all the hills in melancholy gold.
The moist wind breathes of crisped leaves and
In Tie damp hollows OF the woodland sown,
Mlngling the irvSnnrss OF autumnal showers
WIth spicy airs nom cedar alleys blown.
Beside the brook and on the numbered mead
Where yellow fern-tuns heck the faded
With folded lids beneath their paImy shadow,
The gentian mods, in dewy slumbers bound.
Upon those sof-frlnged lids the bee sits brood
Like a fond lover 10th to say farewell,
Or, with shut wings, through silken iolds In
trnding,
Creeps near her heart his drowsy tale to tell.
The little birds upon the hillside lonely
Fit nOiselessly along from spray TO spray.
Silent as sweet wandering thought that only
Shows It's bright wings and softly glides
away.
The scentless flowers, in the warm sunlight
dreaming,
FORGET TO breathe their fulIness Of delight;
And Though the tTanced wood soft
streaming
stu as the dew-faIl Of the summer night.
SO, in my heart, a sweet, unwOnted feeling
Sitfs, like the wind In oceans hollow shell,
Through all its secret chambers sadly stealing,
Yet nnds no words its mystic charms to tell.

The Rain


When from winters icy spell
Burst the brooklets in the dell,
With song,
Where the early robins call
From the sunny garden-wall
All day long,
Where the cIocus shows its face
And the fern it, dainty gIace,
And the daffodl
And the dandeliOu bright
Decks the field with golden light
On the hill;
When the spring has walked world again,
And the apple bios -Onls whiten
And the grasses gieanI ana brighten,
Then we listen To the rhythmic patter Of the
rain.
when the lilies snowy white
CLEAN upon the lakrlet bright,
Mid their leaves,
And the twittcring swallows fly,
Building nests for by and 10y,
Meath the caves;
Roses blush in drwy morn;
Bees their honey quest have gone
All the day;
And the daisies, starry bright,
Glisten I'm the fir, flies light
As they may;
When Summer decks the mountain and the
when She binds her golden sheaveS,
Then she Tits her glossy leaves
In the splashing and the dashing Of the rain.
When the maple forests redden,
And the swcet-feTnS brown and degden
On the lea.
See the stTaightly-furrowed acres,
And we hear the roar OF breakers
When the birds their columns muster.
And the golden rippins cluster
On the bOugh.
Aud the autumn breeze Is signing.
Spring-tlme past and Summer dying
Here and now;
Aud the autumn winds are hlIcd with sounds
when the katydids are calling.
Then the golden leaves are falling
Through the weeping and the moaning OF the
rain.

Remembered Days.

remember a morn behind the MILL
When blackbirdS sang
And shrep-bells rang,
Far on, and all things else were still
But the rising Dream
In the pictured strtam,
And the noise OF water about the mill.
i remember n maid in her sweet youth,
W hose gtntle days
In village ways
Were passed In simple works OF truth;
The summers day
Sped ftSt away
In a dream oflove, I'm the time of youth.
remember the spring In garb OF green,
The light heart giee
That came TO me
With the smile of my love at seventeen;
Her laugh that went
Like woOdla nd scent
To my soul-that time on the daisied green
And though ! know the days are spent,
That love was lost
When came the frost
At summers close of my content,
Yet some joy stays
In winter days,
And brings its joyous complement.
