THE DREAM OF SUMMER.

BY ]. c. wITTlER.
Bland as the morning breath of June,
The southwest breezes play;
And, through its haze, the wlnternoon,
Seems warm as summers day.
TIE snow-plumed angel of the north
Has dropp'd his icy spear;
Again the messy earth looks forth,
Again the streams gush clear.
The fox his hillside cell forsakes,
The muskrat leaves his nook,
The bluebird in the meadow breakes
Is singing with the brook
''Bear up, oh, Mother Nature" cry
Bird, breeze, and streamlet free;
"Cur winter voices prophesy
OF summer days to thee!
So, in those winters OF the sonl,
By bitter blasts and drear,
Der swept by memory's frozen pole,
viii sunny days appear.
Reviving hope and faith, they show
The soul its living powers,
And how beneath the winters snow
Lie germs of summer flowers!
The night is mother Of the day, 4
The winter of the spring,
And ever upon old decay
The greenest MOSES cling;
Behind the cloud the starlight turks.
Through showers the sunbeams fall;
For God, who loveth all his works,
Has left his hope with ALL
