A SPRING MOANING.

And the heart and the brain and the soul sympathise in 

 this apparent delight of material things ; the heart beating 

 more freely, the brain feeling a stronger working power, and 

 the soul rising to purer views of life and its duties : 



" Oh, who can speak the joys of spring's young morn, 



When wood and pasture open on his view, 

 When tender green buds blush upon the thorn, 

 And the first primrose dips its leaves in dew ! "
