EARLY AUTUMN.

The world puts its robes of glory now,
The very flowers tinged with deeper dyes,
The bluer, and the angels pitch
Their shining tents along the sunset skies.
The distant hills crowned with purple mist
The days mellow and the long, calm nights
To wondering eyes, like weird magicians show
The shifting splendors of the northern lights.
The generous earth spreads out her fruitful store
And all the fields decked with ripened sheayes;
While in the woods Autumn's rustling STEP
The naples blush through all their trembling leaves
