SUM MER's DECAY.
BY NORA PERRY.

When my first roses shed
Their petals, and lay dead,
knew my foe Decay
Had struck at my sweet day
OF summer breath and bloom.
l heard my knell of doom
In the soft signing breeze
That scattered their dead leaves.
And then and there 1 seemed
To see as one who dreamed
A long procession pass
Across the springing grass
Sweet ghosts of the dead movers
That b1oomed in last years hours.
And stately at the head,
All clad in white and red,
Shedding their dewy scent,
NV fair June darlings went;
And following after slept
My lilies, who had kept
Their garments white as snow,
While their warm hearts did glow
With all the golden fire
That summer suns inspire.
All blooms and blossoms fair
Followed and followed there,
Until / did behold,
w DIS bllt anu COlu.
My pale chrysanthemums pass;
And then / knew, alasl
The end had come; and knew,
While still the warm winds blew,
My darlings of to-day
Like this were ON their way
To join the ghostly thrOng;
Like this would move along;
Pale visions, dead and dear,
To haunt another year,
Shuddering, moaned and wept,
And in that moment crept
Shadows of storm and night
Across my summer light.
"What is my summer pride?"
Moaning, wept and cried,
"Why do hold my way,
If only to decay"
Then suddenly heard
Amid my boughs a bird
Lifting heavenly voice.
"Rejoice, and yet rejoice"
He sang; and sang again:
"Out of this earth-bound pain,
Out of this dread decay,
lift my heavenly lay"
Higher and higher still,
Sweet with a sWeeter thrill,
Lifted that heavenly song.
Borne on its wings along,
/ saw the bloom and birth
OF the new heaven and earth,
And all my fiowery host,
Each sweet departing ghost,
Seemed in my ears to sing,
mo fair and beauteous thing,
Nothing of precious cost,
Nothing we love, is lost"
