A SGNG OF SPRING.
BY PARK BENJAMIN.
Love and Spring are born together,
Twins of nature, soft and fair;
Basking in the pleasant weather,
Sportingin the balmy air.
Music Of the birds returning
. From the far-off southern bowers,
Fills the heart with tender yearning
For The bliss that once was ours.
When we safe and heard, enchanted,
Songs of fond romantic lore;
And the fields and groves seemed haunted
With these FAIRIES, famed of yore.
Happy youth ! enjoy thy season,
Fer thou, too, art IN thy spring;
Fancy is unchilled by reason,
Hfssssss are re zaand thas s blossom'ng.
Let thine eyes. enrapiured, ponder
All that skies and waters bring;
All that nature joys to squander
In the yielding lap of spring.
Let thy heart, the transport feeling,
Gratefully with love o'erfow;
Like stream that long congealiug,
Melts now in the sunny glow.
CHORUS.
Love and spring are born together,
Twins OF nature, soft and fair;
Basking in the pleasant weather,
Sporting in the balmy air.
