THE MIST.

How gleamy seems the dawn of day,
When noxious mist. arise,
And we twbold no golden ray

Adorn the eastern sk'es.
The di4tant hills, the •allies green,
The ocean and the shore,
Are now no longer to be seen,
However prz'd before.
It let the breeze, on balmy wing,
Resume its at , flight,
And, lo! the bidden charms of Spring
Borst swiftly on the sight.
l'hus ere we know a SAvtoua's love,
A dismal amid appears,.
'loch hides a Paradi,e above,

Unknown to sorrow's tears!

Go, r,.;.(1 your Bale o'er;
thence, a remedy derive,
And irigheer -Junes explore.
