A SONG OF THE FOUR SEASONS.
BY AUSTON DoBsoN.

When Spring comes laughing, by vale and hill,
By wind-hOwer walking and daffodll,-
Sing stars of morning, sing morning skies,
Sing blue of speedwell, and my Loves eyes.
When comes the Summer, full -leaved and strong
And gay birds gossip, the orchard long,
Sing hid, sweet honey, that no bee sips;
Sing red, red roses, and my Loves lips.
When Autumn scatters the leaves again,
And piled sheaveS bury the broad wheeled wain,--
Sing flutes of harvest where men rejoice;
Sing rounds of reapers, and my Loves voice
But when comes Winter. with hail and storm.
And red fire roaring, and ingle warm
Sing first sad going of friends that part;
Then sing glad meeting, and my Loves heart.
