The Changeful Seasons: A Winter Song.
THE CHANGEFUL SEASONS : A WINTER SONG .
Written for the " Masonic Magazine . " THE winds are keen , As they have been
Through all the whiter long ; The clouds are black With gloom , alack ! Oh ! for the gay lark ' s song . We pine for days
Of sunlit haze , For dreamy , misty morn ; For swallows' flight , For poppies bright , All in the standing corn .
For days of June , Gone , ah ! too soon , And fields of new mown hay ; -. For sweet wild flowers , And summer hours , And children at their play .
But winter cold , In days of old , Followed the autumn ' s glow ; And wind ancl rain
Will come again , With sleet , ancl ice , and snow .
So we must be Content to see The seasons change , ancl feel , Though long we roam , AYe may come home To the land of the leal .
Though long we stay , We must obey The laws of nature , too ; The falling leaf TeUs time is brief , Ancl wasted days we rue .
