AUGUST.

The hills and the valleys are fast asleep
In the warmth of the summer noon;
The yellow lilies stand straight and tall
Like sentinels under the grim stone wall;
Butterflies amber and white and brown,
Whirl and fiutter and settle down;
Birds, like bits of the cloudless sky.
Silently over over the pathway fly;
Brown bees, tired of the chase they've led,
Rock in the clover blossoms red,
And softly, sleepiy Groom;
Poppies, scarlet as sunset seas,
Nod and bed in the idle breeze
Grasses. fringing the fields of wheat.
Skinner white in the waves of heat,
And naples under the light winds play
Glimmer with mingled green and gray.
The quiet world. in the silence mild,
Thrills like the soul of a dreaming child.
But when the days brief reign is past
And shadows rise to rule ut last,
And all the flowers are dying;
When down the misty mountain sides
The murky twilight turks anu glides.
And all the lights are flying:
When gently through the silent dusk
The pink rose leaves are falling,
And from the shining upland plain
The whippoor>Sills are calling;
When fire-fies flash their torches bright
Through willows boughs low bending
All me! fear
The summers ending.
Into my heart there comes
A vague but sad regret
Ali fair sweet summer day, too soon
We shall forget.
Too soon forget the mystic charm
You weave above you
Too soon forget your smiling face,
Though now we love you.
On golden lie the waiting fields.
With sunshine Ger them glancing,
And bright the winding river CLEANS.
And all the ripping rills and streams
With mirth are dancing;
The lakes are seas of burning glass,
The brooks are crystal clear;
Like CHEEKY prophets in the grass
The crickets' chirp we hear;
But through the beauty and the glee
There rings a note OF sorrow:
day is sweet, but. ah too fleet
Too soon will come the morrow.
