AUGUST.


Month of gOlden-rod
And posies:
Month of sneeZes
And wet noses,
Month of sleepless
Nights and chills;
Month of dopem
And doctor bills.
How we love you,
Gay deceiyer,
Augusb bring us
Hay fever.
Month of eyes
Forever crying;
Red and wet
And never drying:
Month of stuffy
Heads and wheeling.
Month of constant
Hacking, sneeZing,
Month of August,
Know that I'm
Dreading your
Hay fever time,
Month of blood shot
Eyes and leaking;
MONTH OF gfun
And croaky speaking;
Month of coughing,
Month of aching,
Month of trouble
In the making.
August, not one
Joy that pleases,
Do you bring us
Only SneezeS.
Some there are
Perhaps who love you;
But July
Is way above you.
March is bad.
But better far,
August, than
| think you are.
Rather winters
Stormy breezes;
Than you. August.
Month Of sneezes.

THE SEASONS TEARS.
written For the Evening Capital BY the
West Annapolis Bard

When fair April comes a-tripping
In the spring time Of the years,
And her sunny checks are dripping
With Hood of joyful tears;
Then beneath her magic powers,
Bursting buds and springing blade,
Through her yiyifying showers,
Glothe with veTdure hill and gla de.
When the sun-god drives his horses
Through the burning summer sky
and tire wells and water courses
Are exhausted, parched and dry;
Then the stornI-cloud comes in madness
In the sungod's fiery train.
And old earth just leaps in gladDess
Neath the cooling summer rain.
When the green To gold is turning
In the chill October air
And the trees their leaves are spurning
And are standing gaunt and bare;
Then the heart begins its throbbing
With melancholy pain,
- we hear the m0urnful sobbing
OF the dFenr Autumnal rain.
When grim Winters frozen fingers
Grip the earth and hold IL fast,
And not cen shadow fingers
Of the happy days now past;
Then an imp Of desolation
Rides upon the wintry gale;
BY his evil machiDation,
Winter tears are sleet and hail.
