Early Flowers.

-l, Oh, gentle fowerl
20 Each spring, as forth walk
r.r. To meet YOU, -
And listen to the talk
OF brooks that also greet you
What hours
Are those, ere yet leaf is known,
To meet you all alone,
Gazing with these large trustful eyes
Upon the treacherous skies,
In accompanying mood,
On the bleak solitude;
Of. Breathing your fra9ie lives away
Unconscious Of your heeting stay!
Yenever fail,
-..r Felt is the first warm sun,
And forth begins the stride
Of many q hidden life,
Left struggling in its birth,
Toescape the darksome earth,
.t.. Till stealing on the gale,
Comes borne an infant scent,
And one by one,
On either hand,
.-. A fairy company ye stand. -.
Happy, content
- On earth nothing so fair and innocent.
But came ye not soon?
- This Is not June.
Ye feel the chilling air,
Yet never shrink.
Contented with the fate
That plants you on the seasons brink,
As we loved to feel the blast
That shakes your little mast
IT'S strange how well you bear
scene SO desolste.
But must pass,
And leave you to the night,
And the cold North-wind's fight,
Naked, and shelterless,
With not sigh
~ To tell Of your distress
A destiny
Ye cannot escape, alas!
The warm earth at your feet
fe cannot to your cradle now retreat.
Too soon, too soon, We would come forth,
Needless Of all this threatening North
The morning opes
With frightening hopes.
Fresh is the air,
Where here and there
s A bird,
And distant bleatings heard.
Again Iwend my way
10 where the woodland waters play
Oh, fairest, prettiest sight
Gay flowers! through the dark night,
Unseen,
80 Your lamp still shed their soft twilight;
And now what eyes
Look forth
To greet the morning skies
Serene,
Or burthened droop upon The earth!
Ye, TOO,
Receive the dew, the earliest dew, =
As if 'twere shed alone for you.
Ye were not smitten by the blast;
Ye are not lying low and pale;
Though all unsheltered we're not cast
Away; your lamps shall not yet fail,
For well Earth loves her jewels fair;
Trusting, with slender roof,
Each tender shoot
To her warm bosom's Gare.
But other days will come,
And other flowers appear,
e.. For whom
We must make room;
r- AID they will ope
Upon the self-same slope
-- That is your home.
g While We, rash flowers, so maiden sweet,
Must lie forgotten al their feet.

heartily concur in the sentiments expressed
in the following resolutions, beg leave to
