FEEL a newer life in every gale;
The winds, that fan the flowers,
And with their welcome breathings gil the sail
Tell of serener hours
Of hours that glide unfelt away
Beneath the sky of May.
The sp fes6f the gentle south-wind calls
From his blue throne of air,
And where his whispering voice in music falls
Beauty is budding there;
The bright ones of the valley break
Their slumbers, and awake.
The waving verdurerolls along the plain.
And the wide forest weaves,
To welcome back its playful mates again,
Acanopy of leaves:
And from its darkening shadow floats
"A gush of trembling notes.
Fairer and brighter spreads the reign of May;
The .resses of the woods
With the light dallying of the west-wind play;
And the full trimming floods,
As gladly to their goal they run,
Hail the returning sun.
