A GRAY DAY.

Within IT,, woodlands somber depth
faint, sweet note awakcs and dies,
And sadly through the swaying boughs
The west wind on its mission signs,
While cloudy billows northward roll
Across the low, gray skies.
The sounds that made the woodland gay
Awhile, as il with grief, are mute;
The linnct has no heart to sing,
And silent is the blackbird's flute;
Naught stirs save that faint note Of song
And sad .Eelian lutte.
