On the Death of George wilkins.
o thou dread Reaper of the ripened grain,
Why doth thy sickle circle man in spring
Why wilt thou wet the earth with tears OF
rain
What time the bluebird and the robin sing !?
Why, mid the spring times merry, happy
songs,
Must man be sickled from his silent friends,
All helpless. seeing what to them belongs,
So forceful taken when no arm defends
Our springtime cometh and our summer hies,
Soon autumn and the winter OF our years,
The sickle hastens ere mans verdure dies,
While round him Friendship seeks to stay
the tears.
was the watchfu1 Reaper's hand,
To lay the Sickled grain athwart his arm
" Why do We mournful round the ripe shear
stand a.?
1 gather now to shelter this from harm.
No more Implying storms this golden grain
shall beat,
It's life shall meath springs smiles ten thou
sand-fold repeat"
New Salem, Mass. Perry Marshall.
