The fields and the bouShS are haIe'
And the fleets o. bright birds. with their
frcights of song.
Have drfted. we know not Where.
The tide of the year will turn.
The meadows will ripple ere long;
And the boughs will be lccked with
fragrant foam;
The orchards o'erttow with song.

And Joys on fleet wings have fled,
Then, remember, the beach is not always
bare;
And summer is never dead.
