The Bird Song.

Come, gentle mate, the emerald bowers
Are wreathcd in tendcrcst spray,
Come, loved one. come, the bushing flower
Are springing fresh and gay;
The chilly blast of Autumn 5 Ter,
The snow cloud 5 passed away,
And gloomy skies shall din no more
The sunshine of sweet May.
Come where the balmy breezcs sigh
Through the willow tree.
Come where the brooklet tinkles by,
And carol thy notes to me.
In days of yorc, mid sylvan groves,
I've listen to thy lay.
When thou didst trill thy song of love
In the golden hours Of May

and fragrant with the breath of spring
flowers, and vocal with the songs of thous,
and teathered warbers. To complete the
picture and conclude the strain. we annex
the following lines written for Tie Wig.
They seem peculiarly fitted to time and

To the Ori0le.

Hail gay messenger Of Spring,
Flashing on thy golden wing,
lhro' the balmy air and bowers
Fragrant with the breath of flowers
Wrcathcd with tender foliage green
Sparkling in its dcwy sheen:
" here the mead is green and gay,
There is heard thy piping lay
From each emerald lawn and glade,
From the wood outrageous shade.
Where the murmuring brooklets flow,
And the zephyrs gently blow;
Through the vale, amid the bowers,
Ger the lea among the flowers,
When the morning brightly shines,
When the cv ming sun declines,
Thou dost pour thy matin song,
And thy vesper notes prolong.
