THE

Two APRIL MORNINGS.





We walk'd along, while bright and red
Uprose the morning sun,
And Matthew stopp'd, he look'd, and said,
"The will of God be done!"


A village Schoolmaster was he,
With hair of glittering grey;
As blithe a man as you could see
On a spring holiday.


And on that morning, through the grass,
And by the steaming rills,
We travell'd merrily to pass
A day among the hills.
