SYLPH OF AUTUMN. BT WASHINGTON ALLSTON. And now, in accents deep
and low, Like voice of fondly-cherished wo, The Sylph of Autumn
sad: Though I may not of raptures sing, That graced the gentle song
of Spring, lake Summer, playful pleasures bring, Thy youthful heart
to glad; Yet still may I in hope aspire Thy heart to touch with
chaster fire, And purifying love: For I with vision high and holy,

hear the sullen ocean roar, By dreadful calm opprest; Which, still,
though not a breeze was there, lH ttountain-billows heaved in aj if
a living thing it were, That strove in vain for rest 'Twas I, when
thou, subdued by wo, Didst watch the leaves descending slow To each
a moral gave; And as they moved in mournful train, With rustling
sound, along the plain, Taught them to sing a seraph's strain Of
peace within the grave. 42 THE SYLPH OF AUTUMN. And then, upraised
thy stream...
