ORIGINAL POETRY.
[By Correspondents.]
THE MICHAELMAS DAISY.
Last simile of the departing year,
Thy sister sweets are flown ;
Thy pensive wreath is far more dear,
From blooming thus alone.
Thy tender blush, thy simple frame,
Unnoticed might have past ;
But now thou contest with softer claim,
The loveliest and the last.
Sweet are the charms in thee we find,
Emblem of hope's gay wing ;
‘Tis thine to call past bloom to mind,
To promise future spring.
