SPRING .
BY SAVARICUS . TIHE morn is fine , the sun doth shine , - * - Sweetly sing the birds ; All earth is bri ght with glorious light , Merry are the herds .
Bright smiling Spring doth beauties bring : Trees in verdure clad ; Clear rippling streams have silver gleams , Nature ' s heart is glad .
For genial showers expanding flowers ' Beauties bri ght unfold ; In hedge-rows green wild birds are seen , Chirruping and bold . In mead and field bloom , half concealed , Flowers of ev ' ry hue ,
From cowslips bright to daisies white , Gay with drops of dew . In wood and glade , deep in the shade , Th' modest violet blows—The sweetest flower in nature ' s bower , . Though humbl y it grows .
Sweet primrose wild , Spring ' s earliest child , Decks the grassy mound With beauty rare , graceful and fair , Springing from the ground . What pure delihts these lovelsights
g y Earthly mortals bring ; And thoughts that bless bring happiness ; Welcome smiling spring ! 2 H
