The Tpentp-second of Feb
yuaYp

Pale j. the February sky.
And brief the midday's sunny hours;
The wind-swept forest seems to sigh
For the sweet time Of leaves and
flowers.
Yet has no month a prouder day,
Not even when the summer broods
Ger meadows in their fresh array,
Or autumn tints the glowing woods
For this chill season now again
Brings in its annual round, the morn
When greatest of the sons OF men,
our glorious Washington, was born.
Thus mid the wreck of thrones, shall
live
Unmarried, undimmed, our hero's
fame,
And years succeeding years shall give
Increase of honors TO his naipe.
VIM. Cullen Brgant's last poem.
