When autumn leaves
Float from the tree,
And, Of all tho sheaves,
None are left to see;
When the plover flaps
Der the idle plough
And the woodpecker taps
On the rotting bough;
When the ea~ve-drops freess,
And the rivulets swell
And warm keep the bees
In the waxen cell;
When the wild geese wheel
Round the waters edge,
And the wet winds steal
Under seeded sedse;
When the starved rock pecks
At the tight-stacked grain,
And the tattered nest &
Flecks the leafess lane;
When I sit and cast
Up the kindly years.
And my heart for the past
Overflows with tears;
