SPRING.
Once more we hail tbs lovely spring,
Bright queen of Nature's love ; How tenderly her flowing train Entwines from grove to grove. In every glen, in every glade, The welcome tidings ring ; Behold the first bright vernal robe, The beauty of the spring. To veil the face of winter's gloom, How Bof tly she ia seen To mantleize the throbbing earth In folds of verdure green. She whispers to her magic looms Their blending to begin ; guides the beautiful, The flow'ry hand of spring. ' The daisy decks the mountain side, The daisy decks the glade, All smiling through the tender grass Each beauty is displayed. Behold the violets newly born, £To? 7 sweet their fragrance cling, Pore emWems t>i haro'diiy, Lov'ct messengers of spring;. Bhe breathes o'er every tendril, Their opening leaves to fan, Rejoicing o'er the fertile earth To bless the toil of man. The fruitful trees of flowery bloom Their welcome burdens bring, How radiant, rich, and wonderful The bounties of the spring. J3he loves to wake the sleeping flower To wreathe the shady nook ; , She decorates from scene to scene In harm'ny with the brook. With joy the woodland minstrels Their melodies will sing To make the world a paradise And glorify the spring. Mrs E. Colville, Lawrence.
