THE RETURN OF THE KINGLET. 



liV Wit I. KELLS. 



Back again to onr wild- wood lands 

 Comes the Golden-crested Kinglet; 

 Still the days are warm and sunny 

 And the air is soft and balmy. 

 Mist? smoke hangs o'er the hollows, 

 Cattle roam the fields and fallows, 

 'Tis the time of Indian Summer, 

 Nature greets its gay newcomer. 



Still the woods are in their glory, 

 And the leaves vet keep their greenness, 

 For the chilly winds of Autumn 

 Scarce are felt among the woodland, 

 And the hoar-like frost of midnight 

 Vanishes before the sunlight, 

 Like the dripping clews of morning 

 In the sun-shine of the .Tune day. 



Still some wild fl.,wer shows its beauty 

 In the deep and sheltered forest, 

 Where the bee is yet heard drumming 

 A.- if gleams among the blossoms. 

 But the Thrush has ceased its solas,
