MARCH.

The stormy March is come at last.
With wind and cloud and changing skies;
hear the rushing of the blast
That through the snowy valley flies.
All passing few are they who speak,
Wild, stormy month in praise Of thee;
Yet, though thy winds are loud and bleak,
Thou art welcome month 10 me-
For thou 10 northern lands again
The glad and glorious sun dust bring
And thou hast Joined the gentle train,
And wear'st the gentle name of spring.
And in thy reign Of blast and storm,
Smiles many long. bright, sunny day,
When the changed winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue Of May.
Then sing aloud the gushing rills,
And the full springs from frost set free.
That brightly leaping down the hills,
Are just set out ~ meet the sea.
The years departing beauty hides
Divinity storms the sullen threat
But in thy sternest frown abides
A look of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope of those calm skies,
And that soft time Of sunny showers,
When the wide bloom IN earth that lies
Seems of brighter world than ours.
