AUTUMN GLADNESS.
"Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy."—Psalm xcvi., 12 (R.V.), A SONNET OF .THE SEASON'. How joyously fair Nature seems to raise Her song of rapture, in the loveliness Of tree and hedgerow clad in brilliant dress Of Autumn tint?, transforming common ways To paths of glory, where our dazzled gaze la well-nigh filler] with rapture to exccss, As beauties over new around us press, All mutely joining in the psalm of praise ! The stately elm, its green with gold o'erlaid, The chestnut's falling leaves of burnished, brown, The crimson glories by the woods displayed, The tree-topped upland with its glitt'riiig crown, All soein in oneslad anthem to unite, Of glory to the Lord of life and light! —T5. M. Alford.
