Dost thou moi love, in the season of Spring,
re Irvine thee howery wreath,
and to see the beautiful birch-tree fling
Its shade on the grass beneath
its glossy leaf and silvery stem?
Oh! dost thou not love to look on tbem'
and dost thou notloye, whenleayesa arc grcenest
And summer has just begun,
Nhenin the silence of moonlight thou leanest
Where glst ming waters run,
20 see, by that gentle and peaceful beam,
aae willow bend downto the sparkling stream
And oh in lovely autumna day,
When leaves are sparkling before thee,
Do not NATURES charms, as they slowly decay,
Shed their mild influence DER thee'
and hast thou not felt, as thou stood'st to gaze,
rhe touching lesson such scene displays
It should be thus at an age like thine:
And it has been thus with me;
Ehen the freshness of feeling and heart was
mine,
AS tney never more Can De.
Yet think not ask thee to pity my lot,
Perhaps, see beauty where thou dost not
East thou seen, in winters stormiest day,
The trunk of a blighted oak,
Not dead, but sinking in slow decay,
Beneath tines resstless stroke,
Round which its luxuriant Ivy had grown,
Andwreath'd withyerdure no longer his own
ferchance thou hast seen this sight, and then,
Ash at thy years might do,
Tass'd carelessly by, nor turned again
That scathed wreck to view;
Rat now can draw, from that mould ring tree,
Thoughts which are soothing and dear TO me.
o smile not nor think it a worthless thing,
lift be with instruction fraught:
THAT which will closest and longest cling,
Is alone worth a serious thought!
Should aught be unlovely which thus can shed
Grace on the dying, and leaves on the dead
Sow, in thy youth, beseech of HIM
Who giveth upbraiding not,
Chat his light in thy heart become not dim,
And his love be unforgot;
And thy God, in the darkest of days, will be,
Greenness and beauty, and strength unto H. d.
