Last Line: And sing the requiem of the dying year
Subject(s): Sumnmer; Transcience
I mark the Summer's swift decline
The springing sward its grave clothes weaves
Whose rustling woods the gales confine
The aged year turns on its couch of leaves.
O could I catch the sounds remote
Could I but tell to human ear
The strains which on the breezes float
And sing the requiem of the dying year.
