MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND EMILY NEWSPAPER.

Written for Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. 
A SPRING MORNING. 
From iny couch of broken slumber 
Where, through all the weary night, 
Sad and fearful dreams have hovered 
’Round me, with their mystic light. 
Haste I to the cheerful sunlight, 
And the grateful morning breeze, 
And the gentle, soothing whispers, 
Of the wind among the trees. 
Sweet the balmy breath, of heaven 
On my fevered, aching, brow, 
Sweet the influence that briugeth 
Gladness to my spirit now. 
Round me, song and sweets are wafted, 
Breathing life, and joy, and love : 
Gazing down in love, upon me, 
Is the azure sky above. 
Waving grasses on the hill-side, 
Rolling on before the breeze,— 
Shadowy waves of dreamy softness, 
Changeful as the watery seas. 
Bending showers of snowy blossoms, 
Dallying in the morning air,— 
Smiting meadows, deepening forests,— 
Glories greet me every where.
