Easter Love Song.

Dearest 1t ID the Easer-tnle,
The love-tift,e Of tho yenr;
And every little bird iii rhyme,
Is telling far and near
Ills passion to his listening mate
s Shall / alone, then, fear?
Nay! When the salmonberry shows
Its crimson, veiny bells,
And when the shadbush Whitley blows
8C III lonely forest dells.
May I no, tell my love In rhyme
AS his the robin tells?
When UP the full veins Of the pine
The saps push Justify,
And blossoms star the twinflower vine
Around each messy tree,
Ard wandering silver seab'rds mate
Iii holows Of the sea;
When the last fluffy snowbird goes
d The way that winter Went.
And tho thorn Is scarlet on the rose,
~ And the Willows silver spent,
And here and there and everywhere
is blown the riolet's scent.
Then happy may I courage take,
BY love and hope made strong,
And pray thee. dearest, to awake,
When the night is sweet and long.
And whitley from thy easement lean,
To hear my trembling song.
