The Lament Of ne Golfer. ., .',...,..:,
The days are growing short. alas!
The mellow autumn's here; VA. .sy
The grapes are crimson in the press.
The leaves are pale and sere.
The grass is yellow on the meads.,
The hills are blue with haze; .
The. cider mill begins to hum -
All. doleful autumn days!
Across the spreading fields the scent
OF roses comes no more;
The fence is bare that was so fair
With fragrant peas before!
The summers dead! The robin sings
Its farewell to the lark,
And oh it's such a little while
From 3 o'clock till dark!
