HOW MAY WAS FIRST MADE.

BY JHuMAs MILLEhI ihL o"@H'
As Spring upon silver cloud
Lay looking on the world below
Watching the breezes as they bowed
The buds and blossoms 10 and t!o,
She saw the fields with Elawtho:ns walled:
Said Spring. ssNew buds will create,
She 10 Flower spirit called,
Who on the month OF May did walt
And babe her fetch Hawthorn spray
That she might make the buds OF May
Said Spring. "The grass looks green and bright,
The Hawthorn hedges too are green,
pll sprinkle them with flowers oi GUT,
Such stars as earth hath never seem
And all through Engand's girded wales,
Her steep hill-sides and haunted streams,
Where Woodlands dip into the dales,
Where'er the Hawthorn stands and dreams,
Where thick Ieaved trees make dark the day.
III light each nook with flowers OF May.
Like pearly ew-drops, white and round,
The shut up buds shall first appear
And In them be such fragrance found
As breeze before did never bear
Such as in Eden only dwe.t,
When angels lowered round It's bowers.
And long haired Eve al morning knelt,
In innocence among the flowers:
While the whole earth was every way,
Filled with perfume "a sweet aa May.
And Oft shall groups Of children come,
Threading their way through shady places.
From many a peaceful English home.
The sunshine falling on their faces;
Startling with merry voice the thrush,
As through green lanes they wander singins'
To gather the sweet Hawthorn bush,
Which homeward in the evening bringing,
With smiling faces they shall say,
There's nothing half so sweet as May
And many poet yet unborn
Shall link its name with some swee, lay,
And lovers oft at early morn
Shall gather blossoms Of the May,
With eyes brigh, as the silver dews,
Which on the rounded May-buds sleep;
And lips whose parted smiles difiuse
A sunshine der the watch they keep,
Shall open all their white array
OF pearls, ranged like the buds of May
Spring shook the cloud on which she lay,
And slvered Ger the Hawthorn spray,
Then showered down the buds OF May.
