WRITTEN FOR THIS PAPER.I
WINTER.

Drear Winter cometh forth again,
sternest is he of stern brow'd kings;
And meath his tread, despoled and bare'
Lie Summers beauteous things
Snow-crown'd are brows of pleasant hills
Brows wreathed just now with emerald
light;
Ice-bound are leaping, laughing rills,
Fast in his grasp of might.
dread his presence as he strides
Der hill and dale, in robes of mist,
Or when he in cloud chariot rides
With storm winds III his fist.
For when his footsteps are abroad,
The sunbeams falter from his wake,
And roughly from his ice-fringed robes
The breath of flowers he shakes.
He stalks into the forest groves,
All filed just now with life and light,
But when fair Nature hears his tread
She girds herself for flight;
And hides her sweet and beauteous face
From the harsh tyrant, pale and cold,
And weeps in sad and faded grace
For sunlit days of old.
But little needs he smiles or tears
Relentless warrior, rough and grim,
Heeds not dead flowers on lowly biers,
Or hush of forest hymn;
Nor grieves to see the kingly oak
Stripped of his glory and his crown,
But mid the ruins of dead joys
He builds his cruel throne.
And oh, how desolate appears
The once fair realm where he holds sway,
Where things of beauty and of life
Once lived royal day!
And tall, strong trees in glory stood,
With loving leafy arms entwined,
And music made of song BIRDS notes
Lay in the branches shrined.
But now the song birds all have flown,
And withered arms hang rent in twain,
Like hallow'd friendships roughly hewn,
Which ne'er may bloom again.
| And through the stripped and rugged bough
The winds keep a perpetual moan,
| While mid the dreary softudes
| He holds weird court alone.
Yet soon shall end the despot's sway,
Low lie his sceptre and his crown,
| And springs warm sunbeams on their way
| Shall melt his ice-built throne.
Fen now mid forest avenues,
| A feather'd warbler sits and sings
| His melancholy requiem,
And welcome to the spring.
! Osoul of mine, has winters touch
| Frozen thy life fount in it's play?
| And have the flowers and songs of life
| Died out with summers day?
And through thy avenues oil drear,
| Do wither'd hopes like leaves be strewn?
And mid the ruin of dead joys,
Has winter reared it's throne?
Yet hearken, for an angel sings
To thee song of joyous note:
Arise! and to thy spirits depths
It's melody shall float.
Oh spirit tried, yet God beloved,
Thy long, drear winter taketh wing,
And through thy be ng there shall flow
The new, glad life of spring.
