THE SEASONS.
I risked no more of Autumn than a sigh For Summer dead, and with a sigh she came. But of such healing air its passing by (Stirred Summer's ashes to ;i living flame; And the twin seas sang—There is no death While beauty lives and love rcmemberelh. I asked of Winter, bowed beneath his snows, And racked by storms, how ho sustained his fate, His winds lirotighfc answer—From my cloudy woes Tears for Earth's healing I precipitate; Where, without Winter, were tho smiles of Spring ? Where, without sorrow, joy in anything? —Thomas Thornley.
