S W. PARSONS, JR. ORION dimly burns to-night, I miss the starry seven, And with a mild restraint of light Arcturus walks the heaven ; The frog pipes feebly in the fen, The whippoorwill is faint With chanting to regardless men His petulant complaint. So, June is over, and the race Of fire th electric fly Has come her obsequies to grace, And welcome in July. The year s great miracle is done, The wonder of the spring, And soon, the liberal-handed sun His promised fruit shall bring. JULY. 83 Like s...ome fresh marble, the sublime Work of immortal hands ! Nature before us, in her prime, Almost completed stands. And now the dreaming eye foresees The sculptor s final stroke, The golden heaps beneath the trees, The purpling of the oak. Ah ! might we never forward look, Or be like insects blind, And in the sunshine and the brook Sufficient glory find ; Nor think of icy days to come, When sun and stream shall fail, And all these branches, bare and numb, Creak in December s gale ; Then might we hail this radiant moon With more confiding joy, Nor dread the solemn law that soon This beauty shall destroy.
