When the Woods Turn Brown.
How will it be wheu the roses fade, Out of the gardeu and out of the glade? When the fresh pink bloom of the sweetbrier wild, That leans from the dell like the cheek of a child, Is changed for dry chips ou a thorny bush t Then scarlet and carmine the groves will flush. How will it be when tho Autumn flowers Wither away from their leafless bowers, When sunflower and starflower and golgen rod Glimmer no more from the frosted sod, And the hillside nooks are empty and cold Then the forest tops will be gay with gold. How will it be when the woods turn brown, Their gold and their crimson all dropped down And crumbled to dust'
Oh, then as we lay Our oar to earth's lips wo shall hoar her say, “ In tho dark I am socking now gems for my crown." c will dream of green leaves when the woods turn brown.
