Wrest from the lethargy of winters gloom The slumbering life ofnature; and with her Renovating varying hand begins
 The gentle, yet transforming work, that leads, With sure progressive steps, through verdant 1 paths,
 To fairer scenes in summers brighter day. 1t forms the feeble bud,-expands its size,-- Draws forth its fragrance, and sustains its life For perfect beauty in more genial times. Thus do the. tears of penitence;-the smiles Of hope arouse the sumberng soul from Its dark, wintry waste, and with new energies Begins the work of renovating change ! Within the human heart. Religions feeble Plant, strenthcn'd by penitence and faith Takes firmer root, expands and puritics The soul, shedding around its heavenly Influence ;-thus nourish'd in the spring of life 1 Within humble heart its course leads on To perfect beauty, perfect bliss in Heaven, Its native home. But theresa God above To whom alone, both nature and the human Soul owe all their strength & beauty, by whom They live. Where were the suns reyiving beams
 Without his forming, his sustaining and his Guiding hand !? And where the gentle shower Without the hand Omnipotent that forms The clouds, and sends their blessings down; and
 Where and when would pure religions plant Divine
 Find place within our sinful hearts, without The cleansing influence of His Heavenly Grace? What but the Sun of Righteousness Can warm and keep alive, and aid its growth l Amid the cares and ills and sins of mortal Life? To God then let us ever give our Prayers, our praises and our grateful love. C..
