LESSON 44
SPRING is come, and every thing is waking from its winter sleep. The fields are dressed in a fresh robe of green.
There are buds on the trees, and the wild-flowers once more begin to peep forth. The white snow-drop is one of the first flowers of spring. How lovely it is!
Birds sing among the trees, and begin to get ready their nests for summer.
Men begin now to plough and to sow in the fields. The gardener digs the ground, and sows seeds in the garden.
The days are warmer, for brighter sunshine has come again. Everything is full of life and joy.
Soon the soft spring showers will fall, to water the earth and make the seeds to grow. It is by the rain and the sunshine that God makes the corn to grow, and the trees to bear leaves and fl owers and fruit.
God does it all: it is the way
He gives us corn for bread,
Sweet herbs to eat, and pleasant fruit,
That we may all be fed.
Then let us never see a plant
Or blossom on a tree,
But let us think how good God is,
And ever thankful be.
