JANUARY. 
Come, melancholy moralizer—come ! 
Gather with me the dark and wintry wreath ; 
With me engarlan’d now.” 
Le jour de l’an.” 
This month is represented by a robin en¬ 
circled in a garland of sweet-scented tussilage, 
Tussilago fragrans. Since the one cheers our 
dwellings at this season by its cherup, whilst 
the other regales the early month by its fra¬ 
grance. 
“ Hail! then—hail to thee, January, all hail! 
Cold and wintry as thou art.” 
“ --Hark ! even now the merry bells ring round 
With clamorous joy to welcome in the day. 
This consecrated day. 
To Mirth and Indolence.”
