For the New-York Packet.
A SUMMER MORNING.
NO W early light the purpl'd ikies display;
From night's ihort interruption breaks
the day,
The fun his orient rays remotely spreads,
AM gaily gilds th' aerial mountains heads;
His riling beams reveal the ripen d year ;
Lb ! all its beauty, wealth, and pomp appear !
While, chequer'd verdure, blushing fruits and
corn,
The garden, th' orchard, and the field adorn:
Now the forill cock, by his triumphant cries,
Warns, with the day, the lab'ring twain to rife;
The waking {wains their daily toils renew;
The meadows glitter with the pearly dew ; ,
The cheerful birds (their nefls relinquish'd)
rove;
The flream re-visit, re-salute the grove :
With odoriferous wings, the zephyrs fly ;
Toy tills each heart, and pleasure ev ry e] e;
While faireft feenes are ravishingly view'd,
Earth seems uncurs'd, and Paradise renew'd.
