THE POETICAL WORKS OF MRS HEMANS JUVENILE POEMS ON MY MOTHER’S BIRTHDAY. WRITTEN AT THE AGE OF EIGHT. Clad in all their brightest green, This day the verdant fields are seen; The tuneful birds begin their lay, To celebrate thy natal day. The breeze is still, the sea is calm, And the whole scene combines to charm; The flowers revive, this charming May, Because it is thy natal day. The sky is blue, the day serene, And only pleasure now is seen; The rose, the pink, the tulip gay, Combine to bless thy natal day. A PRAYER. WRITTEN AT THE AGE OF NINE. O God! my Father and my Friend, Ever thy blessings to me send; Let me have Virtue for my guide, And Wisdom always at my side. Thus cheerfully through life I’ll go, Nor ever feel the sting of woe; Contented with the humblest lot-- Happy, though in the meanest cot. ADDRESS TO THE DEITY. WRITTEN AT THE AGE OF ELEVEN.
