Excerpt from A Souvenir: Incidents, Experiences and Reflections Spring. Let pens catch now the melody Of treasured words we'd sing, Since out upon the changing sea Of time, behold the Spring; What buds keep coming in her train To burst in pink and green: She brings such robes for hill and plain Unknown in Winter's sheen: There's rose and gold and purple bright Quivering o'er the sky - A softer touch to every light That's streaming from on high: The bluejays in their winter nests Have heard the distant call - Preparing now to meet, the guests Of gladness, one and all. The loved and longed for angel Spring Is moving hitherward! Then in the gladsome welcoming Let there go thitherward Like incense from the altar rising - Like sweetness from the bud Deeds of goodness, kind surprising And praises unto God! Jane Grey Swisshelm. Jane Grey Swisshelm was born in 1815 in Pennsylvania. She was one of the earliest and a most ardent abolitionist. The first abolition meeting ever held in Alleghany county, Pa. was held under the famous sycamore tree on her place. Charles Sumner attended that meeting. She was a journalist of ability, and a leader in the passage of the Homestead law in the western states. She died in 1884 at her old home, Swissvale, in Alleghany county, Pennsylvania. An unconquerable christian spirit With tenderness that birthright gave Was born when Nature crowned with vital life This champion for the slave, This philanthropist and able leader Where far too few with courage stand! But now her powerful pen has fallen From an untiring hand! A rambler strayed through tang'ed seclusions Searching for themes and relics rare About her far-famed Swissvale home. He found Ruins and strangers there! He found the relics - the "sunlighted den", Even the sylvan seat, he found Fronting meadows and amphitheaters Of distant hills beyond. But ail the beautiful born in Swissvale Died soul and life with its queen! And what though the urchins of a truckman Deface and mar the scene What though her shrubbery and trailing vines Are dying out, here and there. And wornout building's are tumbling down, She'll ne'er awake to care! Her work, her holy mission is finished Which helped so much to clear the way That a race in bondage might step forward That they might all be free! It is meet that this Scriptural injunction Is carved upon her granite slab - "Speak unto the children of Israel (So beautifully sad) Speak unto the children of Israel That they may go forward" it reads! O, that all may go forward and upward Her great example pleads. Summer. Resting here in blissfulness Amidst the June-time showers Inhaling honied fragrance Flung from opening flowers - From blossoms in the grain fields, And spicy bloom from trees, We linger as worshipers Enwrapped in mysteries. We breathe the sweet elixir Of Summer's blessed reign, And through a slumberous sweetness, And gladness - almost pain We inhale the delicate And unutterable love - The exhilerating freshness Sent from field and grove. Opening corols tremble In a shower bath like dew: We pluck them in their beauty. Peerless white and peerless blue, Each adding to a latent charm Breaking into new delight.
