Hail to the King of Bethlehem,
	Who weareth in His diadem
	The yellow crocus for the gem
	Of His authority!

Longfellow.    

	Welcome, wild harbinger of spring!
	To this small nook of earth;
	Feeling and fancy fondly cling
	Round thoughts which owe their birth
	To thee, and to the humble spot
	Where chance has fixed thy lowly lot.

Bernard Barton.
