day, as still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee from
out their winter home,
When the sound of dropping nuts is
heard, though all the trees are

And twinkle in the smoky light the

The south wind searches for the
flowers whose fragrance late he
bore,
And sighs to ind them in the wood,
and by the stream no more.

pleasure that it brings?
1t always tells US OF SO many strange

much produce is worth
And where, and when, and how, and
why, strange things occur on earth
Has wars loud clarion called to
arms? has lightning struck a tree /?
Has Jenkins broke a leg? or has
there been storm at sea?
Has the sea- serpent shown his head,
comets tail been seen?
Or has some heiress with her groom
run off to Gretna Green?
All this, and many wonders more;
