T1IE WINDS OF SPRING.
BT KIMVARD rOLUCK.
Ti ley comc, they comc from tlicir southcrn
liome,
Where tlie sun s lilncs evcr fair,
On islands that rise from tlie ocean loam
In beauty strange and rarc;
They come, and their low sncct song I Iiear
Through tlie bcnding hranchcs riug.
For tlio minstrels who sing for tlie yonthful
year,
Ari llic balmy wiuds of Spring.
Gone are thr shades of intrj niglit,
And the wiulrj stonns havc gone,
M laden with song and life and lighr,
The winds of Spring come on ;
And romid the old arbor. with liny arms,
Thc clustering wild Howcrs cling
Au'J the blushing rose dous her faircst channs,
As she bcnds iu thc ivinds of Spring.
Tlie skies Inok glad, and llic liclds rrjoico
Villi a noiseless miiislrclsy,
And tlie streamlet langhs, with a mcrry voicc,
As it bastens away to the sca ;
And Ihc cxil'd birdofsome far-olTshorc,
As she plnmcs hcr drooping ing.
Sings gladly heruaiive straiu oucc more,
To wclcome ihe winds of spring.
On, on they go, uiih their noiseloss sweep,
Over niduiilain and vallcy, away!
Kamiiug tbeshorc of thc hmitless decp,
And kissiug thc bomidin" spray;
Aud lauds of beatity that none may see,
And maiiya slrnnge brihtthins,
Shall siuile a glad wclcome, joyfully,
To thc hahny uindsoT Spring.
