THE JOY OF AUTUMN.
Who calls the autumn sadf
He hath as iubilant a xnica

ne hath as 1ubilant voice
As ever made the hills rejoice,
As ever made the woodlands glad.
His breezes thrill the dewy morns
Like revel call OF elfn horns.
His waters ripple down the dells
Like crystal chime Of merry BELLS
AND all the leaves on all the trees
Seem stirred with merry minstrelsies
What though the timid birds have fiowni
The air hath voices Of its own,
And where the lightsomc zephyrs pass
There's music In the russell grass
And see how graciously the moon
smiles down the starry sleeps Of space
Win that same sweet look ON her face
she wore TO grace the birth Of Junei
The hardy blossoms that remain
The after glow of summers light
Enough frosty dews their charms bedighA
As gayly gem the sunny plain.
Or II they droop and die the while.
They die with such sweet content
'Twould seem their very dying meant
10 light deaths face with life's own smile.
What though the sheep in silent fold
Are huddled closer for the cold,
What though the bat, ut fall Of night.
wheels through the dusk with heavier fight
What though the gnomelike toad, moro slow.
Sreeps down the road. half drowsed wit
