MUSIC AND FLOWERS .
WHO loveth not music and beautiful flow ' rs ? Can aught that is earthl y more pleasure impart Than the fragrance that breathes in the evening hours And the music that touches the chords of the heart ? As Nature ' s own choristers , birds in the air Sing hymns to the morning , with innocent mirth , And when the soft moonbeams are brilliant and fair What melody falls on the flow ' rs of the earth!—Who loveth not music and beautiful flow ' rs ?
O lovely young children are angels in smiles , For earth-scenes to them are all heav ' nly bright At the opening of Life , ere the world and its toils Have taught them that Earth is the region of Night ! And they who delight but to look on their features , As tracing in each the faint outlines of mind , May ask if there ' s one of those innocent creatures—The buds and the blossoms of future mankind—Who loveth not music and beautiful flow ' rs ?
Observe the young lover who hears the sweet voice Of her whose affection ' s the star of his life 1 — Hope brightens his thoughts , and his feelings rejoice As he watches the look's of his youth's lovely wife ; And the maiden confesses , with blushes besure , Her true love for him , as they walk in the
grove—For her heart is all his , and her mind is as pure As the light that-descends on the scene of their love . O they are like music and beautiful flow ' rs !
See wedded old age in the garden of peace Content to look back on the years that have pass'd And , thankful that worldly anxieties cease , Enjoy the calm haven of quiet at last . The faithful old pair who have travelled with truth Through the journey of Life to its weary decline ,
Remember the blessings and joys of their youth , And see in the skies their bright destiny shine—For their spirits love music and beautiful flow ' rs ! W . HERSEE , Shakspere Lodge ( 356 . )
