He, dying, bequeath'd to his son a good name, For my child I've preserv'd it, unblemish'd with shame, And it still from a spot shall be free. OH! TURN THOSE DEAR, DEAR EYES AWAY. OH! turn those dear, dear eyes away, "TIS THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER. "TIs the last rose of summer Or give sigh for sigh. I'll not leave thee, thou lone one, To pine on thy stem, Since the lovely are sleeping, Go, sleep thou with them; Thus kindly I scatter Thy leaves o'er the bed, Where thy mates of the garden OH! did you ne'er hear of Kate Kearney, From the glance of her eye, shun danger and fly, For fatal's the glance of Kate Kearney. For that eye is so modestly beaming, You'd ne'er think of mischief she's dreaming, Oh, should you e'er meet this Kate Kearney, Beware of her smile, for many a wile, And who dares inhale her soft spicy gale, Must die by the breath of Kate Kearney.

THE light of other days is faded, And all its glories past, For grief with heavy wing hath shaded The world which morning's mantle clouded, Shines forth with purer rays, But the heart ne'er feels in sorrow shrouded, The leaf which autumn tempests wither, In gloomful life displays; But the heart alone sees no renewing, HAIL, SMILING MORN. GLEE. HAIL, smiling morn, that tips the hills with gold, MERRY ROW THE BONNY BARK. O! MERRY row, O merry row, O! merry row, |
