THOUGHTS SUGGESTED BY OUR
NEW ENGLAND CLIMATE.
WRITTEN FOR THE BEE BY MRS HELEN
A. TAYLOR.

A. IA AOn
In place of its showing, April winds
are now blowing,
And Nature asserts the Spring time
once more;
To the old, and the needful, it seemeth
more cheerful;
We welcome the sunshine that comes
to our door.
The Winter has passed, with it's cold,
All Nature rejoices in Spring tides
Let those that cold like, HE away to
KlOndike,
All climates are found in the realms of
the earth.
In the South's sunny cline, often quo
ted In rhyme,
Where the cold never enters, to cause
much alarm,
How welcome 'twould seem, the warm,
sunShine's CLEAN,
To one from the North, with it's cold,
biting storm.
But the world that we live in can
never be Heaven,
We must take as 1t Games, the bitter
with sweet;
Where some things attract, there are
those that detract,
Though the air may seem lovely, ma
laria we meet.
In the far, torrid East, there are raw
enOuS beasts,
And hurricanes fierce, there sweep DER
the plain;
If we wander away, we there cannot
stay,
But welcome our home land, though
cold we retain.
II the Winter seems chill, tbs our New
England still,
Our Summers are lovely, to her we
With dear friends to greet us, and
wide CRATES to meet US,
We will put on the fuel, and thus COM
fort bring.
II the cold we survive, we are glad
we're alive,
To welcome the verdure that comes
e'er again;
When the Winter is past, we are hap
py at last,
With the flowers and fruitage that
soon come en- train.
