Nov keenly blows tho nor.hern blast
Like Winter hail tho leaves fall fast,
And my pet iiObin's come At last
10 our old thorn
With wsrbling throat and eye upeasI
Ito gTeeis the morn I
Like some true friend you come 10 cheer
When all around ia dark aud drear,
Aud Oh what friend to me more dear
Than your sweet SOL 7
Your mellow voice falls on nay car
Like some sweet spell
OF al tho gloamiag's pensIye hour,
When clouds above me dsrkly lover,
I've sOughIA seat in some lone bower
With heart opprssl
You seoIhed NC with your magic power
And ealmed my breast
When morning dons her sober gray
10 usher ia the coming day,
And PhOebus shines with slekly ray
On all around,
No warblers greet him from tho spray
With Joyous sound
Hut you, sweet bird, unlike tho throng,
Salute him with joyous song
When heavy rains aud sleet prolong
The dreary day,
You chant 10 him your evening song
Upon the spray
No blackblrd whistles IN tho grove,
Where lAte In chorus sweet they HtfoVe
No warblor's tongue ID heard to move,
hut all ID sad
No euahat wooa hla amorous love

He has not bought a share of stock,
