A Summer Morning in the Country.
M W. II. III uLEIGH.

How swectly on the hil-sides sleeps
The sunlight with its quivering rays!
The verdant trees that crown the sleeps
Grow grcener IN the luivcring blaze:
While all the air that round us floats
With subtle wing, breathes only life
And, ringing with thousand notes,
The woods with song are rife.
Why this is natnre's holiday
She puts her gaycst mantle on
And, sparkling DER their pcbbly way,
With gladdcr shouts the brooklets run;
The birds and breczcs seem to give
A swceter cadence to their song
A brighter life the insects live
That float in life along.
The cattle on thousand hills,
The ncccy nocks that dot the vale,
All Joy alike in life, that fills
The air, and breathcs in every gale!
And who that has heart and eye
To feel the bliss and drink ii in,
But pants, for scenes like these, to fly
The city's smoke and din
A sweet companionship to hold
With Nature in her forest-bowcrs,
And learn the gentle lessons told
BY singing birds and opening flowers!
Nor do they c'cr who love her lore
Though books have power to stir my heart
Yet Natures varied page can more
OF rapturous JOY impart
No selfish joy-if Duty calls,
Not sullenly turn from these
Though dear the dash of waterfalls
The winds low voice among the trees.
Birds, flowers, and flocks; for God hath taught
Oh keep my heart the lesson still
His soul, alone, with bliss is fraught,
Who breads the Fathers will!
