EVERGREENS. | 

| 
| 
| Reticion cheers, like thee, life’s darkest shade, 
if : 
And blooms alone ’mid wintry desolations, 

TT When Summer flowers, and earthly pleasures fade, 
Filling the soul with bright anticipations. 
ave Sweet flower! thou dost this sentiment convey— 
] | i (Oh, that its truth might every heart impress,) 
Halll h i When Nature’s strength shall fail—her power decay, 
The soul shall brighter bloom, in loveliness. 

Ghergreens. 
Pinckney. 
We Summer’s sunny hues adorn 
Sky, forest, hill and meadow, 
bah The foliage of the Evergreens 
In contrast, seems a shadow. 
But when the tints of Autumn have 
i] Their sober reign asserted, 
The landscape that cold shadow shows 
Into a light converted. 
| Thus thoughts that frown upon our mirth 
Will smile upon our sorrow, 
And many dark fears of to-day 
May be bright hopes to-morrow.
