OLD winter". pfi, the icicles no more
flung pendant from the saowy manded eares;
All nature now looke smiling :: beset:,
The pouring budt are rip'ning into lenven,
The tunetul binds pockim the rising year,
While sportive lnmbkins lki along the green;
Bedeck'd with flower: the " am field: :ppur,
And spting in ." her Iuflre now is teen.
Yet what nail the pleasing seems around,
Since cruel war its crimson Bag displayl.
Amidl} our fielde, when the shrill clm—ions sound,
And mr alarming drumc their voices raise?
W'bcsc lite thc peaccsul hind was wont to dwcll,
In martiak form th' exubattlcd legions stand!
A friend, perhaps, by h?! own friend here fell,
And here a brother b) : brother's hand;
The mother, quite disconsohre, does mourn,
Her sun (pethnpu an only child) it thin;
The bride impatient wait: her lord): mmn,
Who now, alat! will ne'er return again.

Endcw our lands wit happiness again,
