A griwrM CHAPTER I. Othat Decay were always beautiful !H ow soft the exit of the dying day, The dying season too, its disarray Is gold and scarlet, hues of gay misrule, So it in festive cheer may pass away ;F ading is excellent in earth or air, With it no budding A pril may compare, Nor fragrant I une with long love-laden hours; Sweet is decadence in the quiet bowers Where summer songs and mirth are fallen asleep And sveet the woe vhen fading violets weep.
