Childhood's Glee.
A butterfly , an opening flower , — A bird upon tho Aving , — We wonder note how Ave were moved By such a trivial thing . Although they still have power to bring Tho thoughts of former years , — Back to our altered hearts— 'tis now
, In silence and in tears . Then , while such influences move Her young heart to be gay , Check not her laughter , —let her yet Be happy while she may . * F . S . B .
Sonnets.
SONNETS .
ACTION . IT is not wise to dally or delay , Or cry , that we are weary o' the sun ; Our swift-winged thoughts , like restless coursers run To speed our deeds upon Time ' s silent Avay , Therefore with folded hands we should not stay
To count mischances : —let the web be spun , And all be ended fan- when well begun . Thus Avill Life ' s purpose meet with no dismay ; The flowers will come when seeds are fitly sown , Birds sing , when summer reigns in leafy June , And through the winter make no idle moan . No busy heart is ever out of tune . Speed , man , and loiter not , ere Time prevents The perfect issue of thy good intents .
Fortitude.
FORTITUDE .
All that this sweet and gentle night can give , Shines through the curtain of these chesnut trees , With such a flood of bliss that those who live For ever striving with the world's decrees , Might win heart-comfort , and by small degrees See Nature ' s compensations everywhere . - Oh ! that this pleasant time—this summer air—These fragrant paths , and flower-bordered leas ,
Visible ever to the sons of care , Would , like some potent charm or sudden rain , Efface all traces of their dim despair , That thus , with voice articulate and prayer , They might Avith nobler trust their griefs sustain , And learn to hope where most to hope seems vain . W . BEAILSrOKD .
