SUMMER IS REAR.
BY MRS. H. J. LEWIS.
Hush ! tell it not to the flowers and trees;
W '* ~"L *o *h» birds and breeze ; I
urns of crimson and Blue,
ae sail tale, though its burden be true !
Summer is dead!
Hush! for the sea hath suspended its breath,
Fearing to eateh the fust summons of death ;
And the bright clouds, that are passing away.
Fain must drop tears could they hear what j
you say—
Summer is dead!
Aye 1 though her mantle of glory Is still
Reread over garden, and meadow, and hill,
Though the rich bloom hath no touch of decay,
And the bee toils through the long sunny day,
Summer is dead 1
Aye 1 it is ended 1 From forest and glen,
From cities alive With the conflict of men ;
From the grass at our feet, from the now silent
■ bird;
From earth, sea and sky, in our spirits is heard
Summer is dead !
So much of her glory and gladness is left.
We sigh not as those of her presence bereft;
Her crown and her garlands unfaded a>e Tiling
Where they dropped when aside they were
carelessly flung ;
Summei is dead !
