SPRING! AN ALLEGORY.


The Birst-ddy Present Of Lorely Girl!
Twas erst at morn, the gentle breeze
Of balmy Spring came flowing in
Soft as tho wave the light air leaves
On endless fields of early green!
Der all, warmth was twined-as if
The breath of Love came wreathing there
And on each green and bending leaf
gentle kiss sank from the air
Within that hour the modest hue
The untouched brow of Nature shone,
Fresh and beautiful e'er to view
In fush.ess innocence alone,
Her higa, snft front unwrinkled rose
All cleaned with rays so softly bright,
You'd meier have wish'd the gaze TO close
On that first look of virgin light
Her breast was clothed in spotless green
No blush was lifted TO her check
Her murm'rings glided sweet between
The gentle pout Of taintless lips
This was her realnl-the breeze her sigh
The still, bright lovely scene was hors--
But as the bright sun rolled on high,
She blushed since then she's wept her tears
