Sweet Autumn! how thy melancholy grace Steals on my heart, as through these shades I wind! Sooth'd by thy breathing sigh, I fondly trace Each lonely image of the pensive mind! Lov'd scenes, lov'd friends long lost! around me rise, And wake the melting thought, the tender tear! That tear, that thought, which more than mirth I prize Sweet as the gradual tint, that paints thy year!
So beautifully veiled and varied the air, with that early-summer perfume, not at all damp or raw at times Luna languidly emerging in richest brightness for minutes, and then partially envelop'd again. Far off a poor whip-poor-will plied his notes incessantly. It was that silent time between 1 and 3. The rare nocturnal scene, how soon it sooth'd and pacified me!
" 'Though toss'd by the rage of waves and wind, The bark held together still, One arm was strong it bore us along, And has saved from every ill. "The Spirit returns to his hiding-place, But his words have been like balm. The big tears start, but the fluttering heart Is sooth'd, and soften'd, and calm."

The vessel glided smoothly on: amid the stillness of the hour Emily heard, now and then, the solitary voice of the barge-men on the bank, as they spoke to their horses; while, from a remote part of the vessel, with melancholy song, The sailor sooth'd, Beneath the trembling moon, the midnight wave.
"Oh, if the soul, releas'd from mortal cares, Views the sad scene, the voice of mourning hears, Then, dearest saint, didst thou thy heav'n forego, Lingering on earth in pity to our woe. 'Twas thy kind influence sooth'd our minds to peace.
Doom'd o'er the world through devious paths to roam, Each clime my country, and each house my home, My soul is sooth'd, my cares have found an end: I greet my long-lost, unforgotten friend." The winter was soon drawing to a close, and my twenty-first birth-day was past. My father and Col.
The locust-song is very appropriate to the scene gushes, has meaning, is masculine, is like some fine old wine, not sweet, but far better than sweet. But the katydid how shall I describe its piquant utterances?

Hovering over the clear brook-water, I am sooth'd by its soft gurgle in one place, and the hoarser murmurs of its three-foot fall in another. Come, ye disconsolate, in whom any latent eligibility is left come get the sure virtues of creek-shore, and wood and field. Every day, seclusion every day at least two or three hours of freedom, bathing, no talk, no bonds, no dress, no books, no manners.
Behind the cliff the lurking robber stood; No friendly moon his giant shadow threw Athwart the road, to save the Pilgrim's blood; On as he went a vesper-hymn he sang, The hymn, that nightly sooth'd him to repose. Fierce on his harmless prey the ruffian sprang! The Pilgrim bleeds to death, his eye-lids close.
Gal. And all this while did he ne'er mention me? Pis. Yes, Madam, and a thousand things he said, By which much Shame and Passion he betray'd: And then 'twas, Madam, I stept in and gave Counsels, I thought him fittest to receive; I sooth'd him up, and told him that the Crime I had committed, had the case been mine.
