TO poetry has lately turned,
While the land musttill
Attuned to natures harmony,
Inspired by autumn's breeze,
His tender verse my poet weavos,
Nor hoe nor spade he sees.
OF country life, sweet rural scenes,
And happiness galore,
He's ground Of 'pomes" enough to reach
From here to Baltimore.
He sings Of "brown and ruatling leaves
In dark and shadowy wood
Now. I'll admit in later hills
Brown leaves are mighty good,
In frenzy fine he rolls his eyes,
While roll up my sleeves;
He sings of autumn's autumness
While rake up the leaves.
OF Wildwood nuts now falling fast,
win SOFT, seductive sound'-
He'd better help me COOLERS dig;
They're wasting in the ground
OF flowing kline" he sweetly raves
But meier milks he the COW;
The 'glory Of o farmers life''--
But ne'er drives he the pillow.
He sings Of "birdlets by the brook"
And "fowrets in the FEM

The piglets in the pen.
