The Naturalist's Diary

For OCTOBER 1822.

It is a noisy morning: yet the sky
Looks down as bright as on a summer's day.
The ocean, curling as in wanton play,
Doth bare her bosom to Apollo's eye,
And ev'ry whispering wind that flutters by
Seems like a spirit charged to greet the day,
And duly hurries towards the East-away:
For there the Sun, seen o'er the mountains high,
"Comes smiling on the World. The fruit, the flower,
Earth, heaven, the sea, and oh! the heart of man,
And all that comes within His mighty plan,
Fling back the glance in joy: and from her bower
The Spirit of Meditation comes, to see
All nature join in social jubilee.

As the spring and summer seasons have their distinguishing excellencies, so it is, in an especial manner, with respect to AUTUMN. The reviving freshness of the Spring is long past, and the Summer is declining; Autumn succeeds, and its rich blessings may be considered as pleasing to the sight and gratifying to the palate. The general state of the weather, indeed, towards the close of Autumn has a tendency to revive the natural spirits of those whose constitutions have been debilitated by the preceding heats. The air becomes more temperate, and the mornings, as the poet has described them, are fresh and invigorating;-the evenings, too, like those in September, are frequently serene and pleasant. Sometimes, indeed, in wet and changeful seasons like that of the present year (1821), October is the finest month of the whole twelve; and, while we are now writing, we have a striking example of this fact, in the bright autumnal days which have so peculiarly distinguished this season. The groves

OBER comes, to deck the fading year,
its spoil a varied chaplet weaves,
long to hang on pallid AUTUMN's bier.

His golden locks the wood-blast steals;

Their drooping heads the frost-star gems;
The whirlwind shakes their pensile stems:
transient bloom they shortly must resign,

And veil the woodlands in their dun disguise;
e robin trills his solitary note,

And tunes in warbling plaint his elegies;
The orphan beauties of the year

In melancholy train appear;

y their last mournful tribute to its shade, ad o'er its desolated ruins fade

Or soon the wheels of WINTER's icy car

Shall crush these fragments of the shattered year;

v'n now, his hollow murmurs far

Proclaim the fury of his empire drear;

The echoing blast his herald blows,

His meteor torch blue-tinctured glows;
or Nature's sleep he weaves a snowy vest,
nd soon shall rock her languid frame to rest.

The curled leaf flitting on the blast,
The moaning gale, the shadowy sky,
Denote the Sun's dominion past,

And shades of northern darkness nigh;
