December.

The leaves are fading and falling,
The winds are rough and Wild;
The birds have ceased their calling,
But let me tell you. my Child:
Though lay by day, rs it closes.
Doth darker and colder grow.
The roots of the bright red roses
Will Keep alive in the snow.
And When the winter is over.
The boughS will get new leaves
The quail cone back to the clover.
Aud the swallow back to the caves.
The robin will wear on his bosom
A vest that is bright and new.
And the lOvclieSt wa! side blossoms
viii shine with the sun and dew
The leaves today are whirling:
The brooks arc al dry and dumb,
But let me tel you. my darling.
The spring is sure to come.
There must he rough, cold weather,
And winds and rains SO wild;
Not all good things together,
Come to us here. my child.
So. when some dear Joy loses
Its beauteous summer glow
Think how the roots OF the roses
Are kept alive in the snow.
