WINTER WINDS.

Oh, winter winds, why come to sweep.
Your chilly air DER this fair cline;
Why should our fragrant flowers sleep
Beneath that frosty breath of thine;
Why touch them with your icy dart
Why send them wthered to the tomb,
WHY from vnur arctic shores depart
To desolste land in bloomi
We cannot tell-vour piercing breath
Sighs like soIae spirit from his grave
That treasures in the caves of death
Some ruined hope his heart may crave.
Yet monster, stay. We dare not pierce
The shades where low the Christie lies
Your reign must cease however fierce,
You cannot rule when winter dies
Still winter winds, DER sea and land,
Throw with their mournful shrieks around
Blight and disease with lavish hand,
Uufeelius ~ the frozen ground.
Taus nature withers i'll their path
Aun mdH Uel'ioTeS tnelF sulleN power,
Tossed on the sea, he iu their wrath
Feels years of anguish III All hour
Ye winds hat skirt remotest space,
What you have seen our hearts would thrill,
Could language follow your wild race
Or answer III your voice so shrill,
But yonr. vast power gloomy, dark,
Swung in world Of sleet and SHOW,
Was net appointed thus to mark
Mortal viciasitudes below.
Yet 1t is said sound cannot die;
Each word Of anger, JOY or pain,
When spoken it is vain to try
To hide within the breast asaL.
Then winter winds and and summer air
May in hat hour Of fear and dread,
Around the Judgment Seat repair,
With secrets of the quick and dead.
