 Behold, September's first sweet Sabbath morn Upon the golden verge of autumn breaks! The glory deepens on the ripening corn, A breeze o'er fields their dewy splendor
 shakes. The glassy pool glows like giants shield That's freshly furnished for some mighty
 fray; For lions couchant on it's azure field, Three mimic ships at anchor ride to-day. It's blazonry, each graved and fretted rule, Is but the arrowy wake of cleaving fin; And now how beautiful, o placid pool, The vine-clad home mirrored thy depths
 within Alas, the whelming word, from lips to lips! How fast it flies in awful silence sped, The hamburger of grief, of chili eclipse: The lady of the vine clad home IS dead! The childless husband sits with death alone Nor friends, nor wealth, but God, can give
 him light A noble soul the priceless pearl has won, And wears the angel raiment pure and white With cultured gifts and spirit broad and true She humbly span for God her web of
