tonal Sjjolwr. 
Mrs. Hermans, 
YT OW the lucid tears of May 
Gem the blossoms of the spray; 
Every leaf and bending flower 
Glitters in the vernal shower. 
Lovely in the clouded sky 
See, the Rainbow shines on high ; 
Mark the heavenly colors bright 
Ere they vanish from the sight. 
Fairer now the view around ; 
Brighter verdure decks the ground ; 
Flora, smiling in her bower, 
Hails the tender vernal shower. 
Cool and fragrant is the gale, 
Breathing sweets from yonder vale ; 
Where the flowers in freshened pride 
Smile upon the fountain side.
