LOVE'S SEASON.

Love doth a tenant of the spring become; Ofsummerhours when skiesofbrilbant bine Tempt bees and katydids to gardens new; When the woodpecker with his distant drum Is heard, and when the cricket's restful thrum Makes autumn musical; when Winter’s few Delights of Nature blossom into viow; Love makes the yeur, complete, its constant home. Whnte’er the days or months for us unfold Love has one season in its rounded rhyme; Love’s sun turns darkest skies to brightest gold, And makes of time a period sublime; From cradle-tiyrnu to bo Is at Life’s night tolled Where Love dwells it is summer all the time, —[Dexter Smith, in Boston Transcript.
