Hail! bright aud glorious spring! Hail
lovely season! Thou CONTEST in mildness
and beautyG Friendship is in thy counte-
nancef Peace and healing on thy wingsl
Robes of living green, and crowns of blush
ing blossoms deck thee in GRANDEUR Notes
of melodious music are heard upon every
hill, and chaunted through every grove,
by the feathered heralds of thy comirg.
Sweets delicious, issuing from a thousand
different flowers, announce thy presence
Thou restoroth life and animation to torpid
nature, and sottest winters captves free ?
All nature, animate and inaniniate, seems
conscious Of thy presence, and to rejoice.
Verdure is in motion2 Birds of passage,
high in air, are on their homeward Fight /;
fish are playing upon the shadows, and
man is preparing fer another harvest
Thou art the harbinger of plenty, and the
season of hope TO every creature2 To all,
thou art alike, cheering and auspicious in
thy promises. But alas! before thy annual
roNnd, how many that greet thee now will
greet thee no more; and before the first
fruits are ripe, Of this, thy faithful return,
what frosts may come! what lowering
clouds may rest upon n brow, portending
destruction TO the little Bark ofhope that
many have launched upon the stream, ere
