SONG OF THE DAWN.

The beautiful day is breaking,
The fir-t faint ray Of light
Parts the shadow of the night
And q thousand birds are waking
Ihoar the hairbird's slender triil,-
So fair and perfect it doth ti
The whole sweet silence will its thrill.
A rosy flush creeps MP the sky,
The birds begin thcir symphony.
hear the clear. triumphant voice
of the robin. bidding the world rejoice
The vireos catch the theme Of tho song:
And the baltimore oriole bears it along.
While from sparrow and thrush and wood pewee
And, deep in the pine trees, the chcadce,
There's an undeTcUrrcnt Of hGrIaouy
The linnet sings like magic flute
The lark and bluebird touch the lutc,
The starting pipes to the shining nom
With the vibrant note Of the joyous horn,
The splendid jay
: the trumpetcr gay,
The kingfisher, sounding his rattle, he
May the player upon the cymbals be,
The cock, salUting the s,rr's first ray,
l. the bugler sounding n rcveiIc,
Cav: Cawl" cries the crow, and his grating
tone
Completes the chord like the deep trombone,
But. above them all, the robin sings;
HIS song Is the very soul OF day,
And all black shadows troop away
While, pure and fresh his music rings:
Light is hcre!
Never fear
Day is near!
