NEW ENGLAND FARMER. 



[March 17, 



XaiBCSI^JLAITlBS. 



[selected for the n. e. farmer.] 

 MONTH OF MARCH. 



The bud is in tlie boiijli, 

 And the lepif is in the bud. 



And e.irlh's beg^inninj now 

 In her veins to feel the blood, 



Which warm'd by summer sun 

 In th' alembic of the vine, 



From her founts will over-run 

 lu a ruddy gush of wine. 



The perfume and the bloom 

 That shall decorate the flowers. 



Are qnicUening in the gloom 

 Of their subterranean bowers ; 



And the juices meant to feed 

 Trees, vegetables, fruits, 



Unerringly proceed 

 To their preajniointed roots. 



How awful is the thought 

 Of the wonder? underground, 



Of the mystic changes wrought 

 In the silent dark profound ! 



How each thing upward tends 

 By necessity decreed. 



And a world's support depends 

 On the shooting of a seed. 



The summer's in her ark. 

 And this sunny pinion'd day, 



Is commission'd to remark 

 Whether winter holds her sway ; 



Go back, tliou dove of peace. 

 With the myrtle on thy wing. 



Say that iloods and tempests cease. 

 And the world is ripe for spring. 



Thou hast fann'd the sleeping caith 

 Till Iter dreams are all of flowers. 



And the waters look in mirth 

 For their over hanging bowers ; 



The foTHst seems to lister* 

 For the rn.-tle of its leaves. 



And the very skies to glisten 

 la the hope of summer eves. 



Thy vivifying spell 

 Has been felt beneath the wave, 



By the dormouse in its cell 

 And the mole williin its cave ; 



And the suinmer tribes that creep 

 Or in air expand thoii' wing. 



Have started from their sleep 

 •At the summons of the spring. 



Tile cattb- lift their voices 

 From thi- valbys and the bills, 



And the fea(hei\l race rejoices 

 With a gush of tuneful bills ; 



And il' Ihi^ cloudless arch 

 Fills the poet's soug with glee, 



O vivifying March, 

 Be it dedicate to thee.
