POETRY.
IucOmD!eteneSS.

A sweet familiar twitter In the air,
A bluebird on the wing;
A smell of grasses rank-Of maiden-hair,
of damp wood fern and moss, up-springng where
First steps the coming spring.
The squirrel, summing on his native tree,
A gladstone frolic tries;
raven from his ark, the scouting bee
In search of wild wind-howers upon the lea
Sow-Winged, onward flies.
The mother ewes upon the brown hillside
Their tender lambkins lead;
Or on more sheltered knobs lie down beside
Some dancing brook, its voice and wave united,
And now from letters freed.
The willow by the water-cOurse hangs out
Her golden-tasseled fringe;
Reddens the maple bough; the hedges sprOut,
Unbound from winter guards, shrubs look about
And show greenish tinge.
Mid patchwork bright of turf and melting snow s,
Hepaticas appear
Brave forest babes-their starry eyes unclose,
Their downy hoods slip off, each fair face shows
Earth's "resurrexit'' here.
Above these joys, what sadness chokes my speech
And stays the fearful breath?
Vain longings for one voice mine ne'er can reach,
One gentle heart Love had no need to teach
The mystery CT Death.
oh, thou life giving Death! lovely store
Thou gatherest to thy breast
Returning safe what thod withdrew's st before,
The same sweet blossoms for earths emerald floor,
After their winter rest.
But my chid-blossom, with returning spring,
Meier comes my heart to greet;
Lonely and grieved-oh, angel, spread thy wing,
Bear me afar where her sweet mathis ring,
At the Redeemer's feet!
