X lfffff 5 '4 fZf4,,,4,,b, Q Ode to the Seasons iffy g, '26, SPRING comes to earth like the dawn of the day Stealing down over the mountains, Leaving the sky-the angelic blue- To cover the world with a verdant hue- K Q E . - Like the deep green depths of the rolling sea, Spring comes down o'er the quiet lea. The meadows and woodlands with melodies ring, As the building birds their choruses sing, How love is born with the dawn of Spring. Then Summer comes like the noonftide hour, And opens wide each throbbing flower. G'er the blue of the ocean the mellow gale With gentle touch opens the fisherman's sail. And, watching the sun up there in the sky- By the gurgling brook the pO6t doth lie. All Nature is singing a lazy tune, As she falls asleep in the hour of noon, And dreams the Summer away too soon. Like the fall of eve drear Autumn brown Sets on earth's head a golden crown, For Nature is queen of the dying year As she waits for Death-her Fate-to appear. The savage sunset in the west- The bird abandoning her nest- These speak the words of the dying day, When Beauty comes but cannot stay, When man kneels silently to pray. Winter and midfnight creep hand in hand Over the bleak and dying land. The sad sea wave tells the tales of a wreck As she lifts in the air a splintered deck. Out of the breath of the wind so wild Comes the frightened cry of a little child. Both Youth and Joy in the fear have fled, The heart of love hath broken and bled, And even the spirit of life is dead. Elizabeth Field Laughton.
