A PICTURE.
Hedge-rows withered and sere,
Hardly a leaf on the trees,
Waifs of the waning year
Tossed on a fitful breeze!
Hardly a leaf on the trees,
Waifs of the waning year
Tossed on a fitful breeze!
Peasant-folk gathering in
The last that the damp earth yields,
Only the rooks to glean
Over the tired fields!
The last that the damp earth yields,
Only the rooks to glean
Over the tired fields!
Low cloud-lines hurrying west
Heavy with rain and grey,
Over the brown hill-crest,—
All things passing away.
Heavy with rain and grey,
Over the brown hill-crest,—
All things passing away.
