SPRING.


Ry JOHN AUGUSTUS SHEA.
w.s there ever yet by the Poet seen
In the lapse of his sweetest dream,
A oyetn so fair as our rustic Queen


Whose brows are bound


With wild flowers round,
Whose robe is one of brightest green
AS she walks by the woodland stream
She canno, abide moment there
But around and beneath her feet
sorioa blossoms and flowers and odors rare
All glorious things


Whose Spirit filings
New life through the lovc-inspiring air
From its chambers of retreat.
o, they love her well-the queenly Spring!
And from morn till night they throng,
While, every hour, fresh Breezes bring
Around her path,


Such charm she hath,
Their 'wondrous Tyres from heaven and sing
In glad successive song.
See! even now the trees unfold
Their waving banners of love,
Lilac and red and white and gold,


Like scutcheons seen


On field of green.
Its hues untouched and its power untold;
Spread out in light above.
Here and there and every where
Beside the stream and trees,
She goeth forth with voice OF prayer


voice whose tone


Is hers alone
And colleth US all around to share
Her leafy chapel of ease.
And there a concert, full and strong,
Through the branching roof-tree goes;
For birds, in varied notes, prolong


From morn till night,


Like waves Of light,
Hymn after hymn, their liquid song,
Till mortals seek repose.
o It's goodly sight to see
And joyous sound to hear
In opening bud and blossomng tree,


Renewing thus


Life's youth 10 us
The power and love OF the Deity
And the bird-songs sweet and clear.
And looking on every beauteous thing
To fields and gardens given,
And gladstone birds Of the beautiful wing;


And thesdeep blue sky


Of our hopes on high
o! how could welcome the queen of Spring
Nor worship the King of Heaven!
