SPRING. Glad welcome sweet and balmy spring. Thrice welcome art thou, nature’s brightest time ; Sweet birds to greet thee make the woodland ring, And rhi each shady bower with sous sublime. Oh ! sweetest of the seasons, gentle spring,— Thou smiling bursts the winter’s gloom ; Gay warblers now with sweeter pleasure sing, And budding trees forth in sweetest bloom. Now o’er the leas, soft verdure gently creeps, And clothes them in its gorgeous, nnntle green ; While from its bed the modest dais,) j^eps, And rears its head to catch the sunny u*-cc n. Sweetcomesthe murmurous music of the busy bee. O’er many a field, and pleasant glade away Among sweet flowers and richly blooming trees, Rifling their honey’d leaves throughout the day. The warbling skylark, with his matchless strain, Soars with joyous glee the rich blue sky ; And carols sweetly with his might and main, His song of praise to Him who dwells on high. Sweet season crowned with varied glories, thou Dost fling thine incense to the breeze, — From hill and dale, and every grassy brow, And flowers sweet that deck the fruitful leas. Spring Creek, Sept. 3rd, 1868. D.
