RED IS THE BILLOW SPRAY.

Native Hindostanee Melody, arranged by C. Horn to the Poetry of W. Reader.

[graphic]

The moon breaks forth from her clouds awhile,
But I see not my musk-breathing maiden's isle.
Rose! when the dreary sea
Holds me no more from thee,
Smile, and the bud of my woe shall fade!

FISHER'S SONG.

Translated from the German, and adapted to an Air by Von Rhyn.

Up and down, all day long, Life glides by us, like our song. In our

lit-tle fisher

boat, on the rest-less sea we float: Up and down, all day long, Life glides by us, like our song.

Far from care, far from pain,

Far from thoughts of greedy gain,
Calmly, cheerfully, we ride

Over life's tempestuous tide;
Far from care, far from pain,

Far from thoughts of greedy gain.

THE LITTLE HAY-MAKER.

Composed by Reeve.

'Twas in June, ro- sy June, that I saun-ter'd one morning, All alone through the fields, just as

love with a pretty hay-mak - er,
She was fair and well form'd; nay, all lovely, I own it,
And the grass here and there into hillocks had
thrown it;
[sake her;

Her words were-'Stand by, sir.'-I strove to for-
But, no, I was caught by this pretty haymaker,-
Yes, in love, deep in love, with a little haymaker.
What to do I can't tell, for a case more perplexing
Was sure never known,-no, nor truly more vexing;
Pray, young men, have a care of the fields and each
raker,

Deep in love with a little hay-mak - er.
Lest you fall deep in love with some pretty hay-

Yes, I'm trapp'd, fairly trapp'd, by a little hay-
'Twas her figure, her mien, and two pretty black
eyes, sir,

With a blush the most sweet, took my heart by
'Twas something bewitching, for which the deuce
take her,

Made me fall deep in love with this little haymaker,-
Yes, in love, deep in love, with a little haymaker.

Then I'll laugh, drink, and smoke, and leave nothing
But drop, like a pear that is mellow;

And, when cold in my coffin, I'll leave them to say,

Drowned Narcissus, from his metamorphosis
Rous'd by echo, new manhood did take;
Snoring Somnus upstarted from Cimmeries,-
Before for a thousand years he did not wake;
There was clubfooted
Mulciber booted,

And Pan promoted on Corydon's mare;
Eolus flouted,

And Momus shouted,
And Pallas pouted, yet follow'd the hare.
Hymen ushers the lady Astrea,

The jest took hold of Latona the cold;
Ceres the brown, with bright Cytherea,
Thetis the wanton, Bellona the bold;
Shamefac'd Aurora,

With witty Pandora,

And Malla with Flora did company bear;
But Juno was stated

Too high to be mated,

Although she hated not hunting the hare.
Three brown bowls to the Olympical rector
The Troy-born boy presents on his knee;
Jove to Phoebus carouses in nectar,

And Phoebus to Hermes, and Hermes to me;
Wherewith infused,

I piped and mused,

In language unused, their sports to declare; Till the house of Jove

Like the Spheres did move;Health to those who love hunting the hare!
