SPRING.
BRIGHT goddess OF the Southern clima!
Believer OF the wings Of Time!
Wand ring til eterSa spheres among,
For ever fair, for young
And sill from world world TO renewing,
What Time and Death still undoing-
Spring Earhs visitant from Heaven!
What countless gifts by thee given
!, Thou passes, DER old Winters reign
Asunder bursts his icy chain
Thou breathesi-regions at thy breath
Awaken from the sleep OF Death;
Thou visitest the gloomy North
With thy soft train of whispering Hours,
And all the stars brighter forth
To gaze upon the opening flowers
Thou speakes, with thy gentle voice
And birds in green wood bowers rejoice;
Thou smlest-lo! the mountains blue
Bright dreams Of ancient years
And brooks and fountains. running free
Haste to embrace the calling
But most when with wo and PAIN
Or years sickness lingering reign
Uxto the human mind and heart
An angel visiant thou
The faded eye grows bright to thee;
The low pulse beats less anguiiy
The sale check a freshcr hue
Exhausted Thought revives
Fen palsed Age thy presence greets
And from the grave step retreats!
Thou only cnnst from their bed
All would thou coadst!-awake the dead
How would the minsrel's heart DER
To the loved, the lost, more =
Yet why awake to Lies wild fever!
0 thrice beloved! sleep forever!
