A SUMMER'S GHOST.
In that old summer can you still recall The pomp with which the strong snn rose and set ; How bright the moon shooe on the shining . fields, What wild, sweet blossoms with the dew were wet ? Can you still hoar fte merry robins sing, And see the bravo red lilies gleam and glow, The waiting wealth of bloom, the reckless bees, That woo their wild-flower loves, and sing and go ? Canst bear the waves tha. round the happy .hore Broke m soft joy, and told delusive talos — We' go, but we return ; love comes and goes; And ere that watoh see homeward-faring sails. "'Twas. thus iv othor Beasons ?'' Ah, may be! But I forgot thera, and remembered this— A brief, warm season, and a fond, brief love; And cold, white winter after bloom and bliss.
