POETRY.
For the Vindicator.
THE BEAUTIES I LOVE.

BY W. R. M.
There's beauty in the opening Spring,
When first the birds are heard to sing,
And all is blithe and gay;
] love the landscape then to see,
To hear the warbler's m elody
So sweetly die away.
There's beauty in the murm' ring rill,
That courses by the sloping hill,
Along the narrow vale;
love to view its waters bright,
That sparkle in the sunny light,
Or in the moonbeam pales
There's beauty in the leafy grove,
Where wand ring hearts are wont to rove
To feel its silent charm;
love to wander there unheard
By nothing but the chipping bird,
In which there is no harm.
There's beauty in the meadow green,
Where sportive lambs are often seen
In all their harmless play;
love to while away an hour
In culling there the fairest flower,
That blooms in summer day.
There's beauty in the starry night,
Ilumincd by the lunar light,
70 admiration's eye;
love to feel the inward joy
That swels the heart without alloy,
Beholding such sky.
But something glows in friendships eye,
More beautiful than earth or sky,
Makes Inc her devotee; -
There's nauellt ! know so bright or fair;
For all her mnc led beauties are
The greatest charm to me:
