TO THE FIRST SPRING BIRD.
Blue Bird on yon lcahess Tree,
Dost thou caro- thus to me,
"Spring is coming Spring is here"
Say thou so my birding dear7
What is that i'll misty slrond,
Stealing from the darken'd cloud7
Snow! my friend!-it gathers round
Deeply DER the whitcn'd ground,-
Still lnou singcst, blithe and clear,
"Spring is coming Spring is here"
Strik'st thou not too bold u stalul
Winds are piping DER the plain,
Clouds are sweeping DER the sky
With black and breathing eye;
Crrhins, by the frozen rill,
Wrap their mantlcs closer still,
Yon poor man with doubtlet old,
Doth he shivcr ut the cold
Hath he not the nose Of blue?
Tell, me birding, tell me true.
Springs maid Of mlrth and glee,
Rosy wreaths and revelry,-
Hast thou wood some winged love
To nest in verduut %rove2
Sung to her of greenwood bower,
Sunny skies that never lowcrl
Lur'd her with thy promise fair,
Ora lot that Knows no care?
Prythec, bird, in coat Of blue,
Though a lover-tell her true.
Ask her If. when storms are long,
She can sing cheerful song
When the rude winds rock the tree.
Ifshe'll closer cling to tllee,-
Then the blasts that sweep the sky
Unappall'd shall pass thee by
Tho thy curtain'd chamber show
Sifiings Of untimely snow,
Warm and glad thy heart shall be,
Love shall make it Spring for thee
