SPRING.
"Welcome are the days of spring-time, When the first young buds are seen, And the primrose, peeping forth From its clustering leaves so green. Welcome are the days of spring-time, When the humming bees appear ; And the little birds are carolling In the spring-time of the' year. Welcome are the days of spring- lime, With its bees, and birds, and flowers, With its zephyrs soft and gentle, And its cool, refreshing showers. Welcome are the days of spring-time, When the air with life is filled ; And all birds seem very busy Their tiny nests to build. Oh, welcome the spring, for it tells of a day When grim Death with its sorrows shall then pass away ; When we, like the daisy, shall rise from the sod, And sing forth our praises forever to God. _«< Britannia."
