CdiiangPB he last gold rays of ev’ning’s setting sun Add lustre to the sky’s pure azure blue ; Fair tokens of another day’s work done, By workers, proud or humble, false or true. And when the last tint fades behind the hill. All Nature slumbers, and the Earth is still. The last dry leaf perched high up in the tree Is downwad hurled by Autumh’s piercing blast ; Sad thoughts come to the mind in reverie Of unreturning days, now long since past. The shriveled leaf, dropped in the tiny rill. Gives certain warning of bleak Winter’s chill. The last small swallow southward wings his flight ; From nest and summer home he flies away. To linger long in tropic climate bright. Till fresh and sw ' eet comes Spring’s inviting day. A change on far and distant shore until Homeward bound, he comes with music shrill. The last breath goes, the soul of man takes flight From Earth’s low habitation to arise To Heavenly homes, ten thousand times more bright, Where friends await, and true love never dies. A change of rest from care, of good from ill. In all eternal mercy, ’tis God’s will. M. C. Sarrison.
