Autumn Days Rich gleams of gold and crimson light Now flame along thc mountain-side, A glory crowns each wooded height, .And spreads a radiance far and wide. The woodland arches now are hung With draperies of gorgeous hue g The birds, their last sweet carols sung, Have flown to fields and forests new. For soon this glory rich shall fade, These scenes a somber garb shall wear, The wind shall sigh amid the glade, Through leafless branches, cold and bare. No sound now breaks the stillness sweet, Which reigns amid the sunlit wood, Save where the squirrel, with hurrying feet, Bears home his gathered winter food. The maples touched by gentle breeze, Drop down their silent showers of gold Q The forest soon shall bare its trees Against the winter's piercing cold. Then may the memory of these golden days Oft to our hearts with cheer return, WVhen winter holds his boisterous sway, And rules the year with hand so stern. R. C. BEALE, JR T18 L X
