BY W. B. CLARKE. THE breath of Spring was lately in the grove ; Her footsteps in our gardens ; and around Awoke, obedient to her voice of love, The song of birds the magic of sweet sound, Which, through the leafless trees, went up on high, The incense mild of Nature's piety. Where'er she trod, the little flowers, that slept Beneath the soil, arose, her steps to greet ; And all fair creatures, that the frosts had kept In their cold prison, then were free to meet, And welcome the fair visitant ag...ain, Who mov'd so gently over hill and plain. But whilst too sanguine of the promise fair, We plann'd our rural walks among the vales, Stern Winter came, and stripp'd our prospects bare, And turn'd to chilling blasts the genial gales, That lately murmur'd through the budding bow'rs, And wanton'd careless with the infant flow'rs. K 2 Hush'd is the blackbird's song ; the bee is still ; The rook forgets his labours; the young lanih. Which frisk'd along the meadows at his will, Stands motionless beside his shiv'ring dam ; And all that told of life's returning glow Is chill'd and shrouded in a vest of snow.
