ORIGINAL POETRY.
SHOWER AND SUNSHINE. Come and walk in the orchard, Miss Lucy, with me, The ripe peaches are bending each bough, The cherry-cheeked apples you longed so to see Are ready for plucking just now ; lon’re sitting all day in your room, Lucy, \ ou’re moiling all day in your chair; Cast away all this sadness aiid gloom, Lucy, Step out and enjoy the fresh air. Dear nurse, I can never be happy again, lor the time has long, long passed away When he told mo the ship would come back o’er the main ; Oh ! why, tell me why docs he stay. I’m sure he is perished and lost, nurse, I’m sure the bold ship is a wreck ; He sleeps in the sea, he is lost, lost to me, I do feel that my poor heart must break ! Thro’ the green shady maze of the orchard they roam, Hanging fondly on nurse’s kind arm, On the swcct-secntcd breeze the bee flies to its home, The bright sunbeams enhance every charm! There’s some one within that green hower, Lney ; Can you guess, darling, who it may be, ’Tis the sunshine come after the shower, Lucy, ’Tis Willie come baek from the sea! Gr. W.
