 On Harvest. 
 
 When the rosy morn appearing, 
 ^ Paints with gold the verdant lawn-f 
 Bees, on banks of thyme disporting, 
 Sip the sweets and' hail the dawn* 
 See, content, the humble glean- 
 er, 
 
 Takes the scattered ears that falL 
 
 Nature, all her children viewing, 
 Kindly bounteous, gives to all, 
 
 Warbling birds, the day proclaiming, 
 Carol sweet the lively strain, 
 
 Then forsake their leafy dwelling, 
 To secure the golden grain. 
 See, content. &,c.
