MORNING. 



By Grandma Gowan, Mount Royal Vale, P.Q. 



Dkar Sir,— I send you a little burst of joy and praise I indulged in this lovely morning. I look on nature 

 with very loving eyes, altho' I am growing very blind and 1 never use glasses. Ah well, the dear Lord, whom I 

 love, will (I am certain) let me have all my senses till my travelling days are over. 1 am very grateful for the 

 length of days he has given me. I will be 73 on March 10th next.— GRANDMA GOWAN, Gowan Cottage, 



, 1SS8.

AIL bright harbinger of day ; 

 Resplendent orb of light ! 

 Whose golden beams doth chase away 

 The sable shrouded night. 



The crystal dew hangs on the flowers, 

 How sweet the glowing thorn, 



Ah ! who could waste, in sleep, such houi 

 ' The cheerful dawn of morn.' 



The feather'd songsters of the air, 

 Their matin hymn doth raise, 



The warbling little brooks declare 

 The great Creator's praise. 



The flowers in ecstacy upfling 



Their fragrant incense high, 



Alas ! that man should fail to sing 

 A holy psalm of joy ! 



Arise, and greet the new born rays, 

 And climb the upland lea, 



Join in nature's song of praise, 

 In nature's Jubilee !
