Yet be genial airs, and a pleasant sunshine left me,

Leaf, and fruit, and blossom, to mark the closing year.


The Night Journey of a River.

O darkling River! Through the night I hear

Thy wavelets rippling on the pebbly beach;

I hear thy current stir the rustling sedge

That skirts thy bed; thou intermittest not

Thine everlasting journey, drawing on

A silvery train from many a woodland spring
