From Al the Year Round.
BRANIBLE.

The corn is reaped. the bare brown land
is sleeping in the sunshine bland
oflate September time;
Now, after harvest toll and mirth
In restful ealmness lies the earth,
Like good lives pass their prime.
Red tints Of Autumn touch the trees
That rustic in the freshening breeze,
And wave their branches strong;
From hillside meadows loud and clear,
Comes, elarionlike, a note Of cheer,
The thrush's thrilling song.
The busy wild bee aitteth by.
Where honeysuckle waves on high,
And late clematis grows;
A fair brown butterfly floats round
A bramble branch that on the ground
Its dainty tangle throws
The lowly bramble, taking root
In common hedgeFOws, bearing fruit
For common hands to pull:
4 boon to travellers on the road,
1t shows its gracious purple load
With blossoms beautiful.
White flowers like pearly tinted snow,
EAlr iDlAahG IGN2 WIN autumn EAVNs
Ripe fruit-on one fair spray,
All me! my heart, what beauty lives
In lowliesi things that Nature gives
To blossom on our way.
All me, my heart. what beauty shows
In iowIy lives that to their close
Bloom sweetly out Of fsight
Meek hearts that seek not worldly pTsise.
That find in life's secluded ways
Dear love and deep delight
Fair lives that have humble root
sweet lives that bear gracious fruiL
Yet keep their Spring time 0owcTs
UpOn the houEh where fruit hangs ripe,
And where the fading leaf IS type
oflifes decayins hours
We meet them IN our daily path
These humble souls. and each one hath
beauty Of itsown.
A boau,y born Of duty done,
ofsileni victories dumbly won
of sorrew borne alone
