And thy name, like a jewel, Be treasured up here. MY HEART IS SAIR FOR SOMEBODY. My heart is sair for somebody; For the sake o' somebody. Oh, hey! for somebody, O sweetly smile on somebody; And send me safe my somebody. Oh, hey! for somebody, MARSEILLES HYMN OF LIBERTY. Ye sons of Freedom, wake to glory! Hark! hark! what myriads bid you rise ! Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary, Behold their tears and hear their cries. Shall hateful tyrants, inischiefs breeding, With hireling hosts, a ruffian band, Affright and desolate the land, To arms! to arms! ye brave ! March on, march on, all hearts resoly’d On victory or death. Which treacherous kings confederate raise; The dogs of war, let loose, are howling, And lo! our fields and cities blaze. And shall we basely view the ruin, While lawless force with guilty stride, Spreads desolation far and wide, With crimes and blood his hands embruing ? To arms! to arms! ye brave, &c. The vile insatiate despots dare, To mete and vend the light and air. Like gods would bid their slaves adore, But man is man, and who is more? Then shall they longer lash and goad us? To arms ! to arms! ye brave, &c. Oh Liberty ! can man resign thee, Once having felt thy generous flame? Can dungeons, bolts and bars confine thee ? Or whips thy noble spirit tame? That falsehood's dagger tyrants wield; But freedom is our sword and shield, And all their arts are unavailing. To arms! to arms! ye brave, &c. I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER.–By T. Hood. I REMEMBER, I remember The house where I was born, The little window where The sun came peeping in at morn; He never came a wink to soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now I often wish that night Had borne my breath away!. I remember, I remember The roses, red and white, The violets and the lily cups, Those flowers made of light! The Jilachs where the robin built, And where my brother set The liburnum on his birth-day The tree is living yet! I remember, I remember Where I was used to swing, And thought the air must rush as fresh To swallows on the wing; My spirits flew in feathers then, That are so heavy now, And summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow. · I remember, I remember The fir-trees dark and high : Were close against the sky: But now 'tis little joy Than when I was a boy. O, SWIFTLY GLIDES THE BONNY BOAT. By Joanna Bailey.. 0, SWIFTLY glides the bonny boat, Just parted from the shore; Soft moves the dipping oar : And ever may they speed; And tender bairnies feed. We cast our lines in Largo Bay, Our nets are floating wide; Rocks lightly on the tide ; Upon the summer sea; Where all our treasures be. The witch may weave her charm; The bonny boat can harm; It safely bears its scaly store Through many a stormy gale; While joyful shouts rise from the shore, Its homeward prow to hail. We cast our lines in Largo Bay, fc. Now safe arriv'd, on shore we meet Our friends with happy cheer : And with the fisher's chorus greet All those we hold most dear : Repeats the chanted note, We cast our lines in Largo Bay, &c. ENCOMPASS'D IN AN ANGEL'S FRAME. By Gen. Burgoyne. ENCOMPass'in an angel's frame An angel's virtues lay ; Too soon did heaven assert the claim, · And call'd its own away. |
