The Archduchess Jo- sepha died from a midnight vigil in a chapel where a relative was buried : a punishment, it was said, for some intractability she had shown towards the empress's counsels as to the ma- nagement of her betrothed husband. Her next sister became Duchess of Parma. ] 110 THE DEATH OF SUMMER. BY A. S. BY the lengthening twilight hours, By the chill and frequent showers, By the flow'rets pale and faded, By the leaves with russet shaded, By the gray and clouded morn, By the drooping... ears of corn, Ripened now, and earthward tending, As man when full of years is bending Towards his kindred dust, where he Lowly soon shall withering be ; By the silence of each grove, Vocal late with notes of love, By the meadows overspread With the spider's wavy thread, By the soft and shadowy sky, By the thousand tears that lie Every weeping bough beneath, Summer! we perceive thy death. THE DEATH OF SUMMER. Ill Summer ! all thy charms are past ! Summer ! thou art waning fast ! Scarcely one of all thy roses On thy faded brow reposes ; Day by day more feebly shining, Sees thy glorious beams declining, Though thy wan and sickly smile Faintly lingers yet awhile.
