Blackwood’* Maoaximk for July contain* tlie following beautiful lines:—“Once more the cuckoo's cell I hear,I know, in many a glen profound,The earliest violets of the yearRise up like water from the ground.The thorn I know once more is white;And, fir down many a forest dale,The anemones in dubious light Are trembling like a bridal veil.By streams released that singing flow From craggy shelf through sylvan glades,The pale narcissus, well I know,SmiLea hour by hour on greener shades.The honeyed cowslip tufts once more The golden slopes :—with gradual rayThe primrose stars the rock, and o’er The wood-patb strews its milky way.From ruined hots and holes ootne forth Old men, and look upon the sky !Hie Power Bivine is on the earth;—Give thanks to God before ye die !And ye, O children, worn jnd weak,Who care no more with flowers to play,Lean on the grass your cold, thin cheek.Ami those slight Irtnds, and whispering say.Stem mother of a race unblest—In promise kindly, cold in deed,Take baek, 0 Earth, into thy breast.The children whom thou wilt not feed.”
