LINES occasioned by the remarkable snow
storm of April 10, 1926.
As ,ouls elate with happiness in bliss
Roll on the bed of ecstacy joys rise
On joys. and wave of pleasure follows wave:
Till some catastrophe with sudden stroke
In some sad crises sweeps those joys away -
Like heavens artillery prostrates lofty towers.
So Spring, attended by her Zephers came,
And Vegetation in her gloomy cell
Confined by Winter, all her rnassy chains
Had broken, and prepared to issue forth
Upon her grand career all nature smiled;
The vernal songster perched on every shrub,
And all Creation hailed the approach of Spring
But like Hero pants for deathless fame:
Like Him. who to immortalize his name,
DIANA temple fired so Winter wheeled,
Brandished his dart and gave his mightiest blow.
Pale panic stricken Spring defeuceless fell
Mild Zephyr dies by Boreas' warlike arm.
And shrouded lies cold Eegetation's corse.
Again the Tyrant reigns with victory crowned
Yet boast not naughty Tyrant PhGbus comes
In august chariot, drawn by blaming steeda :"
He comes to conquer thee and all thy train =
Then shall he call the verral Host to life,
Fair Spring preemnent shall raise her head
And DER thy ruins her gay banner wave.
In verdant robes shall vegetation shine,
And the mild Zephers dance along the stream;
The fsathered choir in sweet orchestra join,
And Nature in her glitterIng splendOr shine.
