THE LOVELY BAND.
THEY grew together, lovely band
or brothers and sisters dear,
And they gaiIy pay'd on the sea-girt strand,
And they knew not single care.
Merily over the high blue hills
Merily over the lea
Orer the crags where the eagle dwelle,
They stray d in their eareless glee.
Tho butterfly sail'd with trembling wing,
As the laughing group drew nigh, Thing =
For they said" He's bright and beautiful.
And our prisoner ne must be:
The sivery trou, in the bsbbling brook
Tha, wound through the meadow green,
Scarce ventured out from hs shady nook,
For he knew it was deah-l ween.
The bob o.lnk paused in his love-sick song.
And hsd TO the old elm tree,
As the chsttering truants hurried along,
In chase Of the tireless bee;
And then he warbled lively song,
For lively bid is he,
And he hopp'd about the branches among,
As if proud OF his Ininstrelsy.
When winter came on with his clustering storms,
And covered the hills with SNOW
Congealing the streams in his icy arms
And peeping the lattice through
With Its merry freight, the fairy sled
Gldes swiftly over the stream,
Which rumbles along in ITS narrow bed,
Away TO the sea, unseen.
Over tho mountain Of cold white SNOW
Over the meadows Of ice
Through the valleys away they 60
In the glee OF their sportive chase.
Tho happy hearts, and the sparkling eye,
That gather at eventidc
Arosnd the hearth-while the cold wind sighs.
Might pardon parents prido.
For the budding flower hath holy charm.
And il twineh around the heart,
To be shielded there,-lsst breath Of harm
Should taint TO lis truth mpar
Shall still go on with the lovely band
And tell Of their future years
No! I'll leave them there on the sea-girt strand,
Away from life's withering cares
