      "Go, sit upon the lofty hill,",
      "And turn your eyes around,",
      "Where waving woods and waters wild",
      "Do hymn an autumn sound.",
      "The summer sun is faint on them --",
      "The summer flowers depart --",
      "Sit still -- as all transform'd to stone,",
      "Except your musing heart.",
      "",
      "How there you sat in summer-time,",
      "May yet be in your mind;",
      "And how you heard the green woods sing",
      "Beneath the freshening wind.",
      "Though the same wind now blows around,",
      "You would its blast recall;",
      "For every breath that stirs the trees,",
      "Doth cause a leaf to fall.",
      "",
      "Oh! like that wind, is all the mirth",
      "That flesh and dust impart:",
      "We cannot bear its visitings,",
      "When change is on the heart.",
      "Gay words and jests may make us smile,",
      "When Sorrow is asleep;",
      "But other things must make us smile,",
      "When Sorrow bids us weep!",
      "",
      "The dearest hands that clasp our hands, --",
      "Their presence may be o'er;",
      "The dearest voice that meets our ear,",
      "That tone may come no more!",
      "Youth fades; and then, the joys of youth,",
      "Which once refresh'd our mind,",
      "Shall come -- as, on those sighing woods,",
      "The chilling autumn wind.",
      "",
      "Hear not the wind -- view not the woods;",
      "Look out o'er vale and hill-",
      "In spring, the sky encircled them --",
      "The sky is round them still.",
      "Come autumn's scathe -- come winter's cold --",
      "Come change -- and human fate!",
      "Whatever prospect Heaven doth bound,",
      "Can ne'er be desolate."
