AN INVITATION TO THE WOODS. 
Come to the wild woods, come away, 
Now tlie sun is bright, in the month of 
May, 
And the mated birds, in boist’roiis glee, 
Fill the wide heavens with harmony ; 
Now the breezes shake the hyacinth bells. 
And the pale anemone whitens the dells. 
And young leaves whisper a soothing tale, 
And all is joy, and light, and love — 
For the azure heaven is smiling above. 
And the green earth laughs for sympathy. 
Come where the Hair-streak* flutters by 
Like a living leaf ; where the butterfly f 
Whose snowy wings are dash’d with green. 
And with rich orange tipp’d, is seen ; 
Where the Chequer’d Skipper, J as you 
tread, 
Springs lightly from its grassy bed; 
And Clouded-border Moths § unfold 
Their tender wings of speekled gold ; 
Where Fuciformis quivers round 
The stems with honeysuckle bound ; 
And, like a fragment from the sky, 
Sw'eet Alexis gambols by ; 
Where Faleula, whose hooked wings 
Have eye-like spots, to the birch leaf 
clings; 
While near it, where the catkins play, 
Papilionaria larvae stray, ^ • 
Mid forms like their own safe to be 
From prowling Ichneumonidce, 
From the busy tit that twitters near, 
And other foes they have to fear. 
Oh, come to the wild woods, eome away, 
Now the sun is bright, in the month of 
May ! 
Come, for a thousand sights shall cheer 
Your eye— a thousand sounds your ear!

perience.” — Entomologist's Intelligencer.
