PO.Df8 OJ' lfA'rU&Z.WITH the lfllf'eet &ire of spring the Robin comea ;
And in her simple song there aeema to gwsh
A atrain of sorrow when abe miteth
Her Jut yea.r^1 a wither'd nest. But when the gloon1
Of the deep twilight falla, a he takes her perch
Upon the red-stemm'd hazel's slender twig
That overban8• the brook, and suits bel' song
To the alow r&vu1et.'a inconstant chime.In the last daye of autumn, when the corn
Lies aweet and yellow in the ha"est.-field,
ADd the fri\Y company of reapen bind
The bearded wheat in ebeave-theu peala abroad
The blaekbird'e merry chant. I love to hear,
Bold plunderer, thy mellow bunit of aon.g
Float from thy watch -place on the moaay tree,
Cloae at the eorn-f!eld eclge.
