IT JOHN MAYNE.

murmuring Nith, my native itream.
I've hail'd thee with the morning's beam;
Woo'd thee among the Falls of Clyde,
On Levin's banks, on Kelvin-fide;
And now, on Hanwell's flow'ry plain,
I welcome thy return again—
At Hanwell! where romantic views,
And fylvan leases, invite the Mufe ;
And wheredeit erring man mould ftray.
Truth's blamelefs Teacher leads the way !
Lorn tenant of the peaceful glade,
Emblem of Virtue in the (bade,
Rearing thy head to brave the (torn
That would thine innocence deform!
Of all the finve'rs that greet the Spring.
Of all the flow'rs the Seafons bring.
To me. while doom'd to linger hare,
The lowly Ptimrofe than be dear !
Sprung like a Primrofe in the wild,
Short, like the Primrofe, MARION fmil'd ;
The Spring that gave her bloifoms birth,
Tore them for ever from the earth ;
Nor left, als me! one bud behind,
To tranquillize a Parent's mind,
Save that fweet bud which ftrews the way,
Bleft Hope ! to an eternal May !
Lorn tenant of the peaceful glade,
. Emblem of Virtue in the (bade,
Rearing thy head to brave the ftorm
That would thine innocence deform! •
Of all the flow'rs that greet the Spring,
Of all the flOw'rs the Sesfons bring,
To me, while doom'd to linger here,
The lowly Primrofe (ball be dear!
