From The Baltimore Chronicle.
ON THE APPROACH OF SPRING.
Iloye to see gay Spring with rosy robe,
Come tripping forth like some all-beauteous
bride;
Yhe fairest goddess Of the green gay globe,
With all her daughters dancing at her side.
First comes the lovely April with her showers,
Weeping DER March who sleeps in Winters
tomb;
Along her path are seen the earliest flowers.
Which Nature bids in beauty's bowers to
Bloom.
Then MAY, with gaudy garlands for the grave
OF aged April, comes in roses dTess'd;
Delicious fruits around her fair brow wave,
And sweetest odours issue from her breast.
Hove thee Spring, love thee for thy flowers,
Tha, of adorn the brow of Beauty fair;
love thee for thy shady bowers,
Where laughing love escapes from pale des-
pair.
flove thee that thou art an emblem bright
Of beauty, ere her bosom sorrow knows;
Of youth, ere care hath dilnm'd the brilliant
light
Ofhis gay heart, and flld it with life's woes.
