NJ QUESTIONS OF SPRING,

We warblinr birds, your Joyous strain,
Now gladdens earth and sky.
Green Spring adjoining hill and plain
lla. walked your melody
But note of one she cannot bring,
One, sinlcss, gay like YOU
Sweet er her little grave now sing.
Beneath the welkin blue
We snowy flowers that have your birth
When Spring delicious hrcathe-,
She cannot cali one from the earth
Where true affection prieves
Upon her sod q, brightly bloom,
Let dewy tear, there fall,
For your meek sister early doom,
The iaircst of you all
We scented winds which softly speak,
bit tanning hcautys brow,
We never kissed swcctcr cheek
Than hers that CLOVIS not now.
Her voice was music like your sigh,
Then % err her rest hcWail
All pure from yon blue depths on high,
Or fresh from fragrant vale
But though i. hushed the tuuerul bird,
And fond hopes dawneI in vain,
In Heaven her angel voice /, heard,
Her nor" melpdi1us strain
Although too soon the lovely flower
From fearful eyes withdrew.
1t radiant blooms where storms ne err
lower,
Refreshed with Edcns div
Each note Of melody hear,
Each form Of beauty bright,
VIII Ger recall remembrance dear,
uf ones departed light
Warm. in her heart unchillcd and pure
There was O place for mc.
