NEARER HOME.

When the the year has lived its summer
And the birds have touched their strai
And full ripe for the keen sickle
Bends the hoary bearded grain,
All my feelings gather softly,
Like sweet ceinforters, aud say,
Summer time has gone, but autumn
Brings q calmer, fruitful day.
When l, wandering where the summer
fingered fondly to the last,
See the fairest flowers withered
By the first chill autumn blast,
Naughpof sadness fills my spirit,
That my roses long haye blown,
For each leaf that Autters earthward,
Tells me am nearer home.
And when sunset fades out coldly
And the barren fields look gray,
The last golden fruits all gathered,
The last reaper gone away,
Weary I, and sadly lettering,
Evening shadows softly come,
Touching my sore feet with healing,
As they whisper, "Nearer Heme."
And my heart puts off all sadness,
Though the barren fields are gray,
Though the golden fruits are gathered,
Ard the birds have flown away;
For I'm going where the flowers
Bloom in perpetual spring,
Where the birds no more are tickle,
But remain. to ever sing.
Where no frost hath ever bl:ghted
The bright yerdure Of the cline,
And the fairest fruits are ripened,
Where.the sun knows no decline;
And my wasted spirit slngeth
In soft and hopeful tone,
Til the stars shine down to'light me
On and upward to my homel
