THE RETURN OF SPRING.

Dear as the dove, whose waiting wing
The green leaf ransomed from the main'
Thy genial glow. returning Spring,
Comes to our shore again;
For thou hast been wanderer long,
On many a fair and foreign strand,
In balm and beatty sun and song,
Passing from land to land
'Phoa bring st the blossoms to the bee,
To earth scbe Of emerald dye,
The ieaflet 10 tie naked tree,
And rainbow in lis sky;
feel thy blest benign control
The pulse Of my youth restore;
OHrsing the spring Of sense and SOUL
To love and Joy once more.
will not people thy green bowers
With sorrows pale and spectre oand'
Or blend with thine the faded tiowefs
OF memory's distant land;
For thou vert surely never given
To wake regret from pleasures gone;
But like an angel sent from Heaven,
To sooihe creations groan.
Then, while the groves thy garAnds tw'ne'
'Thy spirit breathes the flower and tree
NV heart shall kindle at thy shrine,
And worship God in thee;
And in some calm, sequestered spot,
While listening TO the choral straIn'
Past griefs shall he awhile forgot,
And pleasures bloom again.
