MORNING.
We clip the following beautiful lines from Mr. Thomas Bracken's '• March of To Eauparaha,"' in the Saturday Adcerltsoi', May 11 :— The clnzz'ling points Of morning's lances pierced the bursting hearts Of all the iiow'rcts on the fertile slopes, And waked the red Kowhai's drops from sleep, And shook tlic dew-beads from the ltatn's lids, Until its blossoms opened up their breasts And gave their'fragrancc to the early breeze That played among the Koromiko's leaves, Aud stole the rich Tawhiri's sweet perfume, And strung the flax-leaves into merry tune To woothe Bell-bird from his nest, to ling The Tui up to sing his morning hymns.
