POETRY.
February.


With dainty step she softly goes
Her beaming lattice to unclose:
And signs toward the South which CLOVIS
With faintest amethyst and rose;
There lies an ideal land Of calm.
Whittier her longing thoughts take wing;
But only to return and bring
Sweet promises, like birds of spring,
From meadows breathing balm.
She hears awakening Nature greet
The morn, which comes with welcome feet,
Ger snow wreathed hills, and voices sweet
OF wind blown bells, their joy repeat;
And, touched with hope, "Ah soon," she cries,
"The quickening voices of the rills
Shall rouse to life the cherries hills,
Aud bloomless fields, and slumbering mills,
With songs Of Paradise"
