Impressions in and about Portland, Maine . y mountain-tops which liePiled coldly up against the sky. Dazzling and white ! save where the bleakWild winds have bared some splintering peak,Or snow-slide left its dusky streak. Yet green are Sacos banks belts of spruce and cedar show,Dark fringing round those cones of snow. The earth hath felt the breath of springThough yet on her deliverers wingThe lingering frosts of winter cling. Fresh grasses fringe the meadow-brooks,And mildly from its sunny nooksThe blue eye of the violet looks. 45 And odors from the springing grass,The sweet birch
Impressions in and about Portland, Maine . y mountain-tops which liePiled coldly up against the sky. Dazzling and white ! save where the bleakWild winds have bared some splintering peak,Or snow-slide left its dusky streak. Yet green are Sacos banks belts of spruce and cedar show,Dark fringing round those cones of snow. The earth hath felt the breath of springThough yet on her deliverers wingThe lingering frosts of winter cling. Fresh grasses fringe the meadow-brooks,And mildly from its sunny nooksThe blue eye of the violet looks. 45 And odors from the springing grass,The sweet birch and the sassafras,Upon the scarce-felt breezes pass. Her tokens of renewing careHath Nature scattered everywhereIn bud and flower, and warmer air. —John Grcenleaf Whittler 46 LIBRftRY OF CONGRESS 0 013 995 765 9 §^. PUBLISHED BY ABNER W.
