THE

TWO APRIL MORNINGS.



We walked along, while bright and red
Uprose the morning sun;
And Matthew stopped, he looked, and said,
"The will of God be done!"


A village Schoolmaster was he,
With hair of glittering gray;
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 travelled merrily, to pass
A day among the hills.
