IN AUTUMN Original Poem-Winner of J. F. Bryant Medal-Miss Margoiie Jones. A The World in Autumn's garlands is arrayed. Sweet Summer, yielding place at her commands, Reveals in fluttering leaves and fruitful lands, And further gives fair warnings thus portrayed- ln withered blossoms, forests drear- That Hoary Winter's drawing near. Bright beams of sunshine flit among the flowers, Attracting bees with robes of richest splendour, A babbling brook smiles thanks unto the Sender For summer skies and April's welcome showers. Some little squirrels their winter stores provide, No sluggard's they who'd on the Ant rely. . But where is Autumn in this scene of joy? Is't her we see soft bending o'er the vine, Whose busy fingers, wreaths of flow'rs entwines. Gr does she reign supreme, this Autumn f ay? Ah! There she's idly gazing in the pond, In Wonder at the azure skies beyond! Whatsounds are these which fall upon my ear? 'Tis, sighing breezes crooning lullabies, Whispering wherein every promise lies, Of future days of joys and sorrows dear, And trilling larks who o'er the tall trees soar, Bid sad farewell to SIIIHIHGIJS golden hour. 18
