THREE-COLOURED LACHENALIA. 
The verdure of the vernal bow’r, 
The soften’d gold which summer gives, 
The deepen’d bro wn of autumn’s hour, 
In me, behold, soft blended lives. 
So shines the soul which Virtue sways, 
Truth, Honour, Justice, beam combin’d; 
And though compos’d of various rays, 
One Sun is form’d,—the Christian mind.
