SONG.

Cone, Love; the sun has risen long,
And hedge aud tree
Are all alive with tremulous song;
Awake aud come with me.
The grass is pearlcd with cleaning dew,
The Iatks are trilling in the sky,
And all the worlds awaiting you
And I-my dariing-l.
Look from above, that those dear eyes
MAY dawn on me,
Ny love, my life. my light, arise,
That the morning see.
There's ne'er cloud to mar the day,
The air is soft. and fresh, and sweet;
But all the world is dull ard gray
Till thy dear face | greet.
Sweetest of all that live and move,
Aiise Arise F!
The day is short. too short for love,
The swift hour fleets and ilies.
The moments ne'er will come again,
That heedessly you waste,
And Joy deferred is half pain,
Then, haste my darling, haste !
