Excerpt from Reflections on the Works and Providence of God, Vol. 2 of 3: Throughout All Nature, for Every Day in the Year Blessed children of God! open your hearts to joy! contemplate the bounteous gifts and gay attire of spring: behold the rich verdure of the fields, and gaze on the flowery meadows, whose fruits will shortly present you with the sweets of abundance. Yonder tree, which, a little time ago, seemed destitute of sap and life, is now covered with blossoms that promise an ample produce. How beautiful is Nature! How graceful her ornaments! In this charming season, every meadow, wood, and field exhibit the most cheerful aspect, and, together with men and animals, seem to rejoice in a new existence. The lark soars aloft till his melodious carols seem lost in the fleecy clouds; the pigeon quits her winter retreat, to fly round the enamelled plain; and the sweetly plaintive notes of the nightingale pour from the umbrageous groves, and vocalize the adjacent hills and valleys.
