      « Ye russet shades , which late were seen Array'd in summer ' s cheerful green , Alas , how chang'd your hue ! Your verdant vesture now no more Can charm the solitary hour , So brown and cheerless you 1

      And yet methinks your ey ' ry tree Stands emblematical of me , Fast with ' ring to decay ; This awful difference still appears You'll renovate in future year * , Soon comes my latest day 1

      Such is the lot of feeble man , Of time , prescribed a little span More wise and good to grow , But to direct his course aright , His Maker gives of gracious light , An intellectual flow \

      And , lo ! th * unheeded sacred page Proclaims aloud , from age to age , A great and glorious theme ; Good men , with new celestial breath , ShaU triumph o ' er the bed of death , . And rise to bliss supreme !

      Then let me n £ > r at death repine , But , bless'd with pow ' r and grace divine , ( As fleeting hours decrease ) Improve each solemn day and night * In humble hope of vision bright , And pure eternal peace !

      Peace underiv'd from , works of time , Or mental means , howe ' er sublime , Unsanctified by heav ' Tbe boon is mercy most entire , Xo crown our deep devout desire , In heav ' nly goodness giv ' n . !

      Let then , glad hosts ofiuenand angels bring Their hallow'd incense , sweet , and Hallelujah sing . " T . F .
