THE FIRST FLOWERs.
BY JOHN c. wurrrR.


For ages on our rivcr borders.
These tassels in their tawny bloom,
And willowy studs Of dovny silver.
Have prophesied of Spring to come.
For ages have the unbound waters
Smiled on them from thcir pcbbly hem;
And the clear carol OF the robin.
And song Of the blue bird. welcomed them
But never yet from smiling river.
Or song Of early bird, have they
Been greeted with gladdcr welcome,
Than whispers from my heart to-day.
They break The spell Of cold and darkness
The weary watch Of sleeplcss pain;
And from my heart, as from the river,
The ice Of winter molts again.
Thanks, Mary for this wildwood token
OF Freya's footsteps drawing near;
Almost, as in the tune Of Asgard,
The growing Of the grass hear
II is as il the pine trees called me
From ceiled room and silent books,
To see the dance Of woodind shadows,
And hear the song Of April brooks
As, in the old teutonic ballad
OF Odenwald, live bird and tree,
Forever live in song and beauty,
SO link my thought, these flowers and thee
The small birds track, the tiny rain-drop,
Forever mark the primal rock;
Who knows but that these idle verses
May leave some trace by Artiohoke2
And maidens in the hr-off twilights,
Repeat my words by breeze and stream,
And wonder if the old-time Mary
Were real or the singers drcaml

knew you rs friend, John,
In days of the fairfield pnstl
The memory Of an action kind,
How very long twill last
had started down you know, John,
A steep hills fearful side;
Beneath, like Dead-Sca waters lay
Destruction, dark and wide.
There are the wrecks Of years. John,
In ruin vast and wild:
Where beauty, genius, hope and strength,
in withered heaps are piled.
Twas then you We're friend, John,
You were brother true;
might with fallen manhood vet
ERie lain, twcre not for you.
The memory Of that act, John,
Is stamped upon my soul;
Twill grow more vivid as the years,
Into the past shall roll.
We both are still full young, John,
And climbing lifes ascent;
To reap the great and sure reward
OF toll and labor spent.
So arm in arm Wen walk, John,
Up TO the mountains brow;
And down the otlierside Wen go,
IA friendship strong as now.
Wen plunge into dark hall, John,
With travellers throng and rife
Which in the distance far doth ope
Upoa another lie.
And If we meet beyond, John,
The first I'll say to you,
Win be that long ago, dear John,
You were brother true.
