In dubious Hindoo phrase mysterious,
While she, poor child, could not divine
Why girls so young should be so serious.
They knew the length of Plat's beared

The blue Bird-A spring song

BY WIN. FospIcK.
Gentle harbingcr Of Spring, .....
Bird of the heaven hue.
Bearing on thine airy wing, ...
Summers softest blue
Oh welcome back thy ruddy breast
And music breathing mouth,
Sweet herald of the breezy West,
And of the spicy South.
The bright-hued courier Of the sun
Old Winter hears thy strain,
And drawing up his snowy cloak,
Goes slowly down the plain;
And in his tracks, in robes of green,
The Spring comes, dancing gay,
And April draws the curtain screen
That hides the blushing May.
Oh welcome back sweet Messenger
Thou hast guiding chart,
IT'S Memory's needle, made to stir,
The compass of thy heart!
Thou ridest in the sunshne's car,
Born on the South winds breath
Led by the icy, Polar Star,
And the evenings in the West.
Sweet Envoy Of the gentle Spring
Oh bring me tidings, true,
That shall see a blossoming
Upon life's tree anew.
But if thou canst not bring Love back,
Iprithee Bird, departs
For fairest skies will seem but black,
Without Spring at heart.
