Al Autumn Morning.

The frosts agleam in the mellow dawn,
And the spiders nets are on the lawn.
And deep in filmy robes Of mist
The hills and the silent woodlands lie,
And anon, as the sun comes up the sky
The gray clouds turn to amethyst.
The tender song of the waking thrush
Is heard no more in the brooding hush,
Nor linnets song in the dying trees.
And down where the dodder's skeins are
spread,
The witch-hazel CLEANS in velvet red,
And the Sweetbriar waves in the breeze
And wheeling up through the distant sky
On their flashing wings the plovers fly,
And over the breast of the pool
Through haze of the daybreak's atmos-
phere.
The cry of a bittern, sharp and clear,
Comes from the marshes dim and cool.
And deep in the grasses at our feet
The tuneful crickets still sing as sweet
AS in the depths of torrid June;
And DER the dellS and the sleepy woods
A reverent hush of stiffness broods
AS morning dreams into the noon.
