  "O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof; there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe, And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers."

  "I am glad as a child, in this beautiful weather; I have tossed all my burdens and trials away; My heart is as light - yes, as light as a feather;- I am care-free, and careless, and happy to-day.
