AUTUMN.

It's the golden CLEAN Of an autumn day.
with the soft rain raining as II In play;
And tender touch upon everything,
ASH autumn remembered the days Of spring
In the listening woods there is not a breath
To shake their gold to the sward beneath,
And glow as OF sunshine upon them lies,
Though the sun Is hid in the Swallowed skies
Der the mountains the white rain draws It's veil,
And the black rocks cawing, across them sail,
While nearer the swooplng swallows skim
Der the steel-gray rivers fretted brim.
No sorrow upon the landscape weighs,
No grief for the vanqushed summer days,
But a sense Of peaceful and calm repose
Like that which age In ts autumn knows. Anon.
