SPRING.

Six times three are eighteen—18
The youth no more are skating.
Six times four are twenty-four—24
Wintry winds have ceased to roar.
Six times five are thirty—30
Jack Frost no more will hurt ye
Six times six are thirty-six—36
See the hen protect her chicks.
Six times seven are forty-two—42
How clear the robin's whistle, too.
Six times eight are forty-eight—48
See nature's carpet spread in state.
Six times nine are fifty-four—54
View the rain-bow arching o'er.
Six times ten are sixty—oh! 60
How the western clouds do glow.
Six times eleven are sixty-six—66
Your thoughts on the Creator fix,

171

Six times twelve are seventy-two—72
Who clothes this happy world anew.
