Octobe1· settles softly o'er the Jand- A precious thought that blends e'en grief with cheer-. The hills aud woods flushed with its presence stand Though hushed with sorrow for the dying year. In perfect calm the peaceful mornings dawn, That flash not o'er the east light's fiercer rays, Eut ponder deeply o'er the summer gone, And gild the ea!'th with light of other days. Long lingers in the air night's pleasing chill, And lollg the dew upon the fading grass; Nor do oppressive heats their places fill When later hours, advancing, bid them pass; For mid-day suns have lost their brazen .glare, And faint horizons quiver not with heat, But azure hazes dim the l1ill-tops, where Appear so softly earth and sky to meet. A.s if the o'er-ripe fruit of heavenly vines Had lent their blooms to fringe these autumn skies. A.nd touch with perfect ripeness earth that shines Aheady with the hues of paradise. Each wind that starts with Ruddeu, transient blasts Fans to a redder flame the autumn woods, And, in a mood of aimless effort, casts A scarlet shower upon the lazy floods. But naught arises through the livelong day To brea,k the sacred spell October weaves; And when the sun-light steals from ea1·th away Enc.nan tmg moon beams light the withering leaves, Then to the sight th~ glowing colors fail- The anbe1·ed landscape charms with other mien, For, like the lovely face hjd by the veil, It witcltes still e'en though but dimly seen. And every chaNn. that brooding sadness wreathes, Combi11ed. with beauty, rests on field and hill; The shadowed wood a song of sorrow breathes, And \ilver dews th~ir silent tea1·s distil.
