AU TUM N.
(For the N.Z. Tablet.) 'Mid drooping leaves Tim throstle grieves The passing of the halcyon days; The fretful wind regretful strews A pavement of autumnal hues— Carpeting the verdant ways Adown the arching avenues. 'Neath amber skies The blossom diesThe spiring poplar sheds its gold, The fragrance of the rose is lied, The lily bows her . stately head— The broom is browning on the wold, And winter nears with stealthy tread. Tho lambs are grown— Tho fledglings flown — The sower gleans the golden yield, The fruits are gathered to the store, r The reaper’s song rings out no more; The moon pines o’er the stubble field, And silence broods without the door. T \ - Harold Gallagher. Christchurch.
