FEBRUARY.

February fills the dixie
With black, with white,
With the gold o. the flower that's like
The stars at night
Spring comes slowly up this way,
February.
Fair maid brings on a gray day
Flowers for Mary.
Gray south wind and a gray sky
Ane a new hope
Aids the heavy heart on high,
Lifts IL up.
February spreads the board.
Sets the feast,
Makes an altar TO the Lord,
Vests the priest.
See in gardens freaked with snow
Miracles,
Snowdrops. as the wind will blow.
Ring their bells.
Bid the pious folk come in
And to their knees
Silver introits now begin
In all the trees.
Hear the blackbird chorister
At dawn, at even;
His wild chant, so fresh, so rare,
A song OF heaven.
Hear the thrush in all the bowers,
And hear the lark.
Now the days a book of hours
From dawn to dark
The full bosomed earth is young
Under the SHOWS,
Every grass blade newly sprung
Breathes like a rose.
Little streamlets lately dumb
Lift o small voice,
Bids Christs creatures in ka lidom
Hear and rejoice.
