AUTUMN.
Days are growing shorter, Nights are waxing cold, While the leaves from green are turning To a bright and glorioles gold. Butterflies from gardens All to rest have fled; Tho apples in the orchard Are juicy, ripe, and red. Winter is approaching— ' We see it day by day; ; Soon it will be with us, _'__,-- Cold and bleak and grey. Frost will then come to us, And the snow, so soft and light, Will fall in flakes around us, Clothing the earth in white. —Trilby.
