BY MRS. T. P. SMITH.


The birds of spring,


Are on the wing,
0 come to the garden and grove;


Leave city toll,


And life's turmoil,
mid natures fair scenes TO rove.


The Queen of May a ~
.... a.. Comes forth to-day, !. e..
To give to us beautiful flowers,


In dress of green,


She will be seen, Is.
And welcome you TO her bowers.


The flowers of May,
l And BIRDS sweets lay;
Are whispering "God is goods"


And hill and dale


And rock and vale
Still echo it through the wood.


Come, then, 0 come,


'I'is May-day morn,
Leave early your couch and home;


Here friendship meets,


And charity greets,
Come ye to our festival, come!
