Some penitential Offering.

Some trial meeliiy borne for Thee,

SELECT POETRY.


HAIL SPRiSG the sweet season Of glodness,
OF beauty and loveliness bright!
The season when sorrow and sadness
Are lost in thy heart-cheering light!
The season when Nature discloses
New beauties ofloveest dye,
And the heart of the christian reposes
New faith in his Father on high.
The season when Nature reioices
Has come and now on the wing,
We hear the sweet tones of those voices
That herald the breezes of SPRING.
These notes are of tenderest sweetness,
Melodious, inspiring and clear
Alas for the heart wanting meekness,
To join in the general cheer.
Away, then with grief and detection,
With signing, and sadness, and fear
'Tis the season when hope and affection
Should dry up griefs bitterest tearl
Let the heart oyerburdened with sorrow,
It's primitive gladness assume.
For the bliss in the lap of tomorrow,
MAY VANISH III uarhneSs ana gloom.
Sweet Spring is the season when flowers
The buds Of their beauty unclose,
And breathe round our core-stricl clSen hours,
fragrance as sweet as the rose,
'Tis the season when deep, holy feeling
Gushes up from the depths of the soul,
In light, love and beauty, revealing
The music Of Springs sweet control.
But Spring should remind us ofheaven,
Where flowers forever shall bloom,
Where the sanctifcd Spirit forgiven,
Shall enjoy their undying perfume;
There Spring is unchangingly vernaL,
All lovely, immortal, divine,
For the smile Of the TRrUNE ExrERYA1
Is the Sun of that glorious cline!
