HIS SMILE
Alas all fowerlcss the wales:
We feel the breath of Arctic gales
All silent are the honey-bees.
And gaunt and leafess are the trees
The daisies to the zephyrs nod
No more-dead Is the goldenrod
No frefIes In the alders gleam
No more the swallows skim the stream.
The grass is withered the lawn:
No more the songbird greets the dawn.
The merry crickcts chrp no more;
The memberships are on the door,
Now come bleak winds with drilling showers,
And meath the the sparrow covers
The glory of the autumn's past
And drcary winters coming fast.
The dreary winter with its snow,
And days of eight and ten below
The coal man is in his gce;
A smile nine inches long has he.
