May is past--along the hollows Chime the rills in sleepy tune, While the harvest's yellow chaplet Swings against the face of June. Very pale lies Annie Clayville-- Still her forehead, shadow crowned, And the watchers hear her saying, As they softly tread around: Go out, reapers, for the hill tops Twinkle with the summer's heat-- Lay from out your swinging cradles Golden furrows of ripe wheat! While the little laughing children, Lightly mixing work with play, From between the long green winrows Glean the sweetly-scented hay. Let your sickles shine like sunbeams In the silver-flowing rye, Ears grow heavy in the cornfields-- That will claim you by and by. Go out, reapers, with your sickles, Gather home the harvest store! Little gleaners, laughing gleaners, I shall go with you no more. Round the red moon of October, White and cold the eve-stars climb, Birds are gone, and flowers are dying-- 'Tis a lonesome, lonesome time, Yellow leaves along the woodland Surge to drifts--the elm bough sways, Creaking at the homestead window All the weary nights and days. Dismally the rain is falling-- Very dismally and cold; Close, within the village graveyard, By a heap of freshest mould, With a simple, nameless headstone, Lies a low and narrow mound, And the brow of Annie Clayville Is no longer shadow-crowned. Rest thee, lost one, rest thee calmly, Glad to go where pain is o'er-- Where they say not, through the night-time, "I am weary," any more. MR. BOKER has a fine poem entitled "I have a Cottage," in the July _Graham's Magazine_. FOOTNOTES: [D] Weil's _History of the Khalifs_. 3 vols. octavo. Besserman, Mannhein, 1851. _The Fine Arts._ There have been new discoveries of sculptures in Athens. The foundations of the old Council House were disclosed, and farther investigation led to the discovery of very beautiful remains. They are mostly fragmentary, but of the finest style. Especially an arm, with drapery, is very fine, and as the investigations are not yet completed, it is hoped that other parts of the statue may be obtained. More than sixty inscriptions have been also revealed. They are mostly decrees in praise of and memorials of honor to certain men. Some are of the Macedonian, others of the Roman period. Mr. Pittakis, the long resident and famous Athenian antiquariae, has been properly put at the head of the party of investigation. His topographical knowledge of Athens is probably superior to that of any other living man. * * * * *
