A bird last spring came to my ■window shutter, ~ - v . One lovely morning at the break of Bay; And from his little throat did sweetly ntter A most melodious lay. He had no language for his joyous passion, No solemn measure, no artistic.rhyme; ; Yet no devoted, minstrel e’er did fhAhirm Such perfect tune and time. It seemed' of thousand joys a. thousand ' stories, 1 All gushing forth in. one tumultuous tide? A hallelujah for the morning glories That bloomed on every sida And with each canticle’s voluptuons ending, He sipped a dew drop horn the dripping pane; Then heavenward his little ,bill extending, Broke forth in song again. I thought to emulate his wild emotion, And learn thanksgiving from his tuneful . tongue; But human heart ne’er such devotion, Nor human lips such song. At length he flew and left me in my sorrow, Best I should hear those tender notes no more; And though I early waked for him each morrow. He came not nigh my door. * But once again, one silent summer even, ; I met him hopping in the new mown hay; But he was mute, and looked not np to ] heaven— 3 The bird that sung in May. { Though now I hear from dawn to twilight ^ hour The hoarse woodpecker and the noisy jay, ;■ j In * vain I seek. throgh leafless grove and bower The bird that DEALERS IN MACON, rheumatism, gont and dropsy, and are recom mended as a general family cathartic medicine.
