    T rtv-io HARVEST CUSTOMS IN NORTHUMBERLAND, BY JAMES HARDY. September, welcome ! month of genial mood, To hearts that crush’d in life’s tumultuous press, Pant for the rural paths of peacefulness, On which the world’s cold gaze may not intrude. The calm that wraps the earth, and sky, and sea, Permits the mind its own dear fancies bright; And, as in lone seclusion of the night, The past revives and glads our privacy. What jovial train breaks on us as we muse? The reaper bands ’mid fields of bending grain, Where mirth’s loud shout, sly joke, and winning strain, The light of joy, through deep stirr’d hearts diffuse. Blest scenes of youth! and happy harvest hours ! Life has no equal charms—no bliss like yours.—MS. $ciu castle* upon* Cpne: M. A. RICHARDSON, 4 4, GREY STREET. MDCCCXLIV.
