SONG.
By Josiah Conder, Esq.


Twas not when early flowers were spring
When skies were seen, ing,
And wheat was green,
And birds of love were singing,
That first I loved thee, or that thou
Didst first the tender claim allow.
For when the silent woods had faded
From green to yellow,
When fields were fallow,
And the changed skies o'ershaded,
My love might then have shared decay,
Or passed with summer songs away.
Twas winter: cares and clouds wer
Instead of flowers round me,
And sunny hours,
When Love unguarded found me.
Mid wintry scenes my passion grew,
And wintry cares have proved it true.
Dear are the hours of summer weather,
When all is bright,
And hearts are light,
And Love and Nature JOY together
But stars from night their lustre borrow,
And hearts are closer twned by sorrow.
