All things have their seasou-and thino got flower
Comes with tho guests at the Bridal hour
'Tis thins to adoTu the fair young Bride,
When she steps forth IN her Joy aud pride
Thy buds mix with the snow-whitc pentls
She twiues amid hOr clustering curls;
Thy porfum'd breath is borne on the air,
When she speaks tho VOW aud bToathcs tho player,
The which binds amid smiles aud teats,
Her lot to one through all coming years.
In youth and in age, in good and In ILL.,
While lite shall endure unchanging still
The prayer that calls on Heaven to bloss
Tho object of her hearts Tenderness
'ris an hour OF Joy yet gaze in her eyes
A mist OF tears Ger their brightness lies;
Aud her voice IL low aud her cheek il pale
IA the light folds of her floating v0il--
Does she weep because she must bid adieu
To the homo where her happy childhood flow ,
Doos she mourn that her giTlhood's glcc gone,
Aud that slcrner tasks on
Does she send her spirit through coming years,
When the Joy of this hour will he quench Il in tears
Does her fancy paint that moumiul day,
When fond heart shall be away;
When bitter drops from must how,--
Or else be herself ia the grave laid low
Yes. such feelings will come, unbidden guests
When all seem gay to human breasts.
But thou fair Flower! in thy beauty bright
Boom'st hrcr still in Beauty's light -
Thou baskcst in the suns warm ray
And smiest thy little life away,
Protected by His bounteous care,
Who made thee in thy beauty there. Georgian.
