TO THE ~"coLuMBINE."

by a Y. s. Ensign.
I sing not now OF Hawdli's Isles,
Favored with Natures sweetest smiles;
Nor OF her ferns, her bcautcous palms
That lmplore the moon with outstretched
arms;
Her waves that murmur to tickle sands
Sweet messages or love from far-oft lands,
This ford for sentiment decline
10 taste OF the sweets OF the Column
blne,"
For droar was our lifet and sad was our
lot
TIL Fate enticed you to this far-ofr spot.
We had felt the want OF warmth and
cheer
or the tropic sun, Till you came here.
Now the SHOWS recede, the cold has no
sting.
The rivers ripple and the forests sing.
The flowers bloom as In their wont 20 do
But bolom the sweeter because OF you.
And we. poor sailors, doomed to cruise
Protecting seals-distresslng rusei
win cruise Just MS we've cruised before
But spirits lightened all the more
Because our hearth around thee Irvine
Like clusters OF sweet 'ColumbIne."
