Yet could they feel the pang of fate,
To them these chill and moaning airs
Might whisper: "Whether or late,
Nature some death for all prepares.
The use of beauty, and its glow,
Few but her favorite children know.
ITO wave beneath the starry sky,
To rest the earth with shade aud dew,
Then, when the glare of noon goes by,
To live again in service true,
A shivering mortals life to cheer
What more could nature give ye here?'
And beside this friendly blaze
Look back to mourn my fallen trees,
Yet praise them in these wintry days
More than when bloom delights the bees
My consolation and my cheer
Through the long dead-watch OF the year.
Could such peace and comfort be,
So genial and so bright friend
Such Innocent hilarity
Be mine to life's remotest end
All mel how little should care
To turn to ashes and to air!
