My Garden.

A garden is lovesome thing, God wot.

1.-THE following poem is known by two
titles "Early Rising and "A spring
Morning." 1t is by Lady Flora Hast
Get up. little sister; the morning is
And the birds are all singing to welcome
The buds are all opening; the dew's on
the flower,
If you shake branch, see, there falls
quite shower.
BY the side of their mothers, look, under
the trees
How the young lambs are SKIPPING ABOUT
as they please;
And by all those rings on the water |
know
The fishes are merrily swimming below.
The bee. | dare say. has been long on
To get honey from every flower of
spring.
For the bee never idles but labors all
day,
And thinks. wise little insect work bet

The larks singing gaiIy; it loves the
bright sun.
And rejoices that now the gay spring is
begun;
For the Spring is so cheerful. | think
'Twould be wrong
If we do not feel happy to hear the
lark's song
Get up: for when all things are merry
and glad
Good children should never be lazy and
sad;
For God gives us daylight. dear sisters.

May rejoice like the lark and may work
like the bee.
