VI. On AUTUMN.
Behold the rosy Summer flies:
Autumn succeeds, all blushing fair!
How gay the Fields! How clear the Skies!
How still the Air!
Autumn succeeds, all blushing fair!
How gay the Fields! How clear the Skies!
How still the Air!

See how the Earth in Smiles is clad!
How hot the Sun's meridian Rays!
O shelter me in yonder Shade
From the full Blaze!
How hot the Sun's meridian Rays!
O shelter me in yonder Shade
From the full Blaze!
Soft wafted on her purple Wings,
Fair Health bids every Sorrow cease;
And, lo! the yellow Harvest brings
Plenty, and Peace!
Fair Health bids every Sorrow cease;
And, lo! the yellow Harvest brings
Plenty, and Peace!
