Autumn Thoughts.
Soon there will rise the angry bitter wind , Rifling the forests with its gusts unkind Of all their golden leaves ; but ivy , twined—O ' er gnarled trunks , lists never to the call . The seasons come and go , and all the leaves ;
The swallow gently twitters neath the eaves , But summer past , deserts us , never grieves , The ivy clings for ever on our wall . The old tree dies , but still the ivy clings
As though it were amongst the sentient things , And o ' er the crumbling ruin hidden springs , Near holy wells , and where the cuckoos call . So steadfast friend will ever through the strife
And turmoil of our constant changing life Cling to us always like true wedded wife ,
Though life be ending and all pleasures pall .
