Dost thou not see the woods are fading fast, Whilst the dull leaves with wailful winds are stirred ! Haste, haste to other climes, thou solitary bird !

" Now thoughts which wander'd through the blooming world, Back to the heart, from whence they issued, throng, And by the winter's fire, when winds are loud, Are poured forth in song.
