50 TKIBES OF THE 



vn. 



TRIBES OF THE ROOF WINGS. 



Up ! the early skylark, Laura, 



Leader of the daybreak chorus, 



Is inviting us. The songsters 



Of the wood and of the meadow 



Join with laim in paying tribute 



To their bountiful Creator, 



Offering up the hymn of morning. 



Hymn of tuneful adoration. 



All their happiness proclaiming : 



Happiness is adoration. 



Still the insect world is sleeping : 



Ah ! how true that flowers can slumber ! 



See these closed and brilliant petals ; 



See these folded leaves of trefoil ; 



See these buds and blossoms hanging 



Heavily on slender footstalks : 



All are wrapt in peaceful slumbers, 



Peaceful and refreshhig slumbei-s, 



That, all undisturbed, have lasted
