Autumn.

Respectfully dedicated to my friend

Autumn has come
With beautiful mantels,
And dressed the forest
In purple and gold;
The wood. land now rings
With gay happy laughter,
The like of the beauty
Is rare to behold
You scarce would believe
If I'd tell of the pleasure,
The forest has had
In frolicsome way.
They have danced night and day
To the music of zephyr;
tbs said that nature
Was never so gay.
Last eve there was
An extra occasion.
All seemed artistic
In grandeur arrayed.
Fair luna came forth
In her chariot of grandeur,
With her face yelled DER
In eclipse displayed.
AS the sun came peeping
Forth i'll the morning
The forest was dressed
In frost fine and white,
And natures carpet
Sparkled like diamonds
That shone every color,
In the soft golden light.
Autumn you re sad
This beautiful morning,
T'is the kings message
That l must go.
And with deep sigh
She said to her subjects
We soon must return,
In mantels of snow.

more interested in this communication because
as it happens. he has found in the current
