AUTUMN.
Now along th- welkin's glooin.
Autumn's mournful dirge is sounding,
Like a warning from the touib ;
On the year of mirth rebuilding ;
And the fading fields assume
Sickly hues of white and sallow.
And the trees, bereft of! bloom,
Wave their weeds of red and yellow.
All is cheerless-rall is drar :
Scarce a month sine', all was blooming,
Now the leaf is brown and sere.
That the warm is fast consuming ;
Where gry notes were wont to c eer,
Like tuned harps on pinions flying.
Now no measure greets the ear
Save the voice of Nature sighing.
