RHYMES OF THE DAY.
MARCH WTNDS.


A BALLADE.
The merry winds of March awake.
And pulling flee their tabled cave.
The old folks quake tho old oaks shake,
The crest comes white 10 every wave,
And mad hares seasOnably rave.
The liSsom linden and 1.-the larch
Are all bows for my Beauty's sake:
Brave. q, the merry winds OF March
They rouse dead sea and laggard lake,
They make the chill blood brisk and brave
And If, sometimes, some branches break,
Branches in bud the ruin save,
Or with their blossoms deck the grave,
Preparing summers Yerd2nt arch
And sutumn's auburn archItrave;
Bravo, the merry winds of March
White winters freeze and summers bake.
Their sun and lee alike snslave;
The March winds blow. and straight way take
Times chains away from lord and knaye;
Their wounds the dropping Aprils lave,
And wet the lips blown dust may parch,
And cool for us springs coming cake
Bravo, the merry winds of March

For tie queen Of the wave IS she.

However the winds may blow
And we'll sail along with loving song
Be our voyage swift or slow.
So talk to me not of yOur dainty girls,
But give me a woman brave;
Far befter than roses OF teeth Of pearls.
Ia the courage that dare, the wave.

All safe TO the other shore, .:..
Where the storms OF life, and its weary 5tllIe,
