MATURITY.
How sweet is the faint blush of dawn, When the dew decks each briary spray But too • often it happens the promise of morn Endure 3 not tilt closing of day ! The Spring, crowned with chaplets of flowers, Proclaimed that Summer ia nigh,— But so fickle she proveth 'twixt sunshine and showers 'Twere folly to trust her, say I ! Then since Nature, where'er we may rove, Her parable giants us to see, Leave others the Dawn and the Sprm^-tide of love, The noon-day and Summer for me !
