Queen Of this little hand so gay =.
sweet fow'ry Queen. TO thee all hail!
We bring the flowers both bright and pale.
The winters storins havc passed away,
And spring has brought US beauteoas May;
The werld again assumes the guise
II wore when pure in Paradise:
The fow'ry god hnth walked the earth,
"a I'd called the blossoms into ,irth;
His foot hath been on every hill,
4 nj by the side Of every rill:
With green robes he hath clothed the plains,
And deck'd them with soft now'ry chain.;
And We Ger all hath joyful been
To gather gifts for our fair Quecn,
To deck thy dark and glossy hair
We bring thee blossoms fresh aud fair;
We've pluckcd them wet with m ,rniug dew,
brewery shade, OF every hue;
We caught them slumbering in their beds,
With folded arms and dropping heads,
Whft sSle fairies at their peaks,
sSrertsSs and played upon their cheeks,
And kissed their eyeiids gcn,,y cosed, 49, :
Or in t'eir capsules wet reposed,
just drinking in their fill Of bliss,
With dewy hath and balmy kiss,
Ere yet the fiery god Of day
Should drive them with his beams away
Such are the gifs, o Queen, that we
With hearts ofiove present to thee.
And We have twined for thee tfis wreath,
BreAshed on b the fow'r goi's breath,
Which place upon thy brow. (crowns her.
And own thee as our sovereign now
The sovereign Of this band so gay.
The Queen. the happy Queen OF. Mayi
Here in thy how'ry palace reign,
The monarch OF this loyal train,
While we, with loving hearts and true,
Are proud TO pay thee homage due,
Ard yield obedience tothy sway.
oicen Of the. Sweet and flow'ry May,
And now around thy royal throne
Shall garlands rich and rare be strown
The Purple. pale. And dark deep red,
Pros,iscuously around thee spread.
shall with their mingled fragrance meet
Aud yield perfume pure and sweet.
Then hail all hail! fair Queen of May

Sweet wild wood flowers from copse and dell;
But dearer far this gift to me
Than ere moaarch's gem could bel

The court as soon will pass away.

On some bright day of future times,
The grateful mem'ry Of this hour
Will touch my heart with magic pow'r.
And viii dream. dear friends, that ye
Are thinking Kindly then on me.

Res0lrsd, That we tender to Prof. Vim. Carr,
the conductor OF the Convention, our heart felt
thanks for the very thorough and efficient train
ing we have received in Elocutiou and Vocal

that his future Conventions may, if possible,
more fully meet his expectations than this, and
that he may not only be able u teach the breath

of a long life Of usefulness and happiness.
