To AUTUMN.
BENDING with age his scattered locks embrown
In jovial laughter mid his reaper train,
Mark mellow Autumn, from yon sunny ground
Beckoning the loves and graces to the plain.
How his glad looks the smiling fields adorn.
Round Bacchus' brow he twines the laurel
Profusely fills mild plenty's spacious horn,
And bids dejected care no more repine
Hail, generous Autumn! Nature's guardian kind
Providing parent of her joyless hours!
When Winter, ruthless hag, who limps behind
Comes forth to desolate her faithful bower.
By thee protected shall we dwell in peace.
Till laughing Spring resumes her reign
of ease.
