SUMMER'S OBSEQUIES.

The gentian weaves her fringes, The maple's loom is red.

My departing blossoms Obviate parade.

A brief, but patient illness, An hour to prepare;And one, below this morning, Is where the angels are.

It was a short procession,-- The bobolink was there, An aged bee addressed us, And then we knelt in prayer.

We trust that she was willing,-- We ask that we may be.

Summer, sister, seraph, Let us go with thee!

In the name of the bee And of the butterfly And of the breeze, amen!
