AN AUGUST MEMORY. BY F. E. WING.
The sky's clear blue is veiled in dreamy haze, And lazily the snow-white clouds glide by; The far-off mountains raise against the sky In indistinct and dreamy browns and '"strays. The nearer fields and pastures are ablaze With royal golden-rod : the roses die "With one last breath of incense, like a sigh In memory of voluptuous Jnly dnyx. There breathes a grateful stillness, made more still By every murmur of the bandit bees, liy all tho corn-field's rustling syraphonies And each pulsation of the sweet, low ' thrill That floats at sunset from the maple tree?, Whoro sings in loneliness the whip-poor-will !
