My FIRST dreary Winter strews mournfully down
From the cold palsed glance Of his harrassing frown


Or the flow of his shivering breath,
When the flowers may droop to premature grave,
And the pillows that rolled the tremulous wave


Are still'd in their chambers of death.
Though the may fade on the mountain and field
1t will prove mantle, shelter and shield


Till Spring in her bloom may arise,
To strengthen the ray OF the smiling beam,
And call forth the light of the crystalline stream,


Whose virtues we relish and prize
My NEXT rises up with the wings Of the gale,
And it whispers the landsmen pitiful tale,

When the wild shrieking winds whistle proudly and

And when the lone havel'r, so weary and worn,
Marks the long shining trails that thitherward

Float waving and wistfully past,
Nor--dreams that my WHOLE may to danger beguile,
That tins stern serred column OF army and file


Will leave him to perish at last. 8.t
