I ., 'R J. C. T. H. S. The Cardinal Spring - Ai Ea5t CLASS POEM 0 Months have slip'd past, and spring at last Comes to this land of ours, Bringing mild winds, that lightly send To us their boundless showers. The grass peeps out. and round about Are myriads of flowers, XVhile robins sing, as grass they bring To build their comely bowers. II Then joy's coarse call, wafted to all, Awakens a deep longing To fly-to fly, away up high And shriek, and cry, at dawning. VVe get, by chance, the nierest glance At few of nature's browning, As in a whirl the sprightly squirrel Into a hole goes bounding. III It seems to me, that every tree Shields from our eyes the beauty Of lots of things, that springtime brings To turn us t rom our duty. Yet we have spring, and like to sing Ot' her in all her beauty, That's why I wrote this little note, I tho't it was my duty. M1165 H1115 in Sarninr 0112155 1. I-larris jones, Class printer. 2.
