Another sail-'t was Friendship show'd Now fast around the sea and shore THE CRYSTAL-HUNTERS. [SWISS AIR.] O'ER mountains bright We Crystal-Hunters speed along; While rocks and caves And icy waves, Each instant echo to our song; And, when we meet with store of gems, We grudge not kings their diadems. O'er mountains bright With snow and light. We Crystal-Hunters speed along; While grots and caves, And icy waves, Each instant echo to our song. Not half so oft the lover dreams That tell where deep the crystal lies Though, next to crystal, we too grant That ladies' eyes may most enchant. O'er mountains bright, &c. Sometimes, when on the Alpine rose The golden sunset leaves its ray, So like a gem the flow'ret glows, We thither bend our headlong way; And, though we find no treasure there, We bless the rose that shines so fair. O'er mountains bright With snow and light, We Crystal-Hunters speed along; And icy waves, Each instant echo to our song. FARE THEE WELL, THOU LOVELY ONE!

Lovely still, but dear no more; Once his soul of truth is gone, Love's sweet life is o'er GAYLY SOUNDS THE CASTANET [MALTESE AIR.] GAYLY sounds the castanet, Beating time to bounding feet, When, after daylight's golden set, Maids and youths by moonlight meet. Oh, then, how sweet to move Through all that maze of mirtli, Led by light from eyes we love Beyond all eyes on earth. Then, the joyous banquet sprcad Into some loved one's ear, Thoughts reserved through many a day To be thus whisper'd here. When the dance and feast are done. Then, too, the farewell kiss The words, whose parting tone Lingers still in dreams of bliss, That haunt young hearts alone. OFT, IN THE STILLY NIGHT. [SCOTCH AIR.] OFT, in the stilly night, Ere Slumber's chain has bound me, Fond Memory brings the light Of other days around me; The smiles, the tears, Of boyhood's years, The words of love then spoken; The eyes that shone, Now dimm'd and gone, The cheerful hearts now broken! Thus, in the stilly night, Ere Slumber's chain hath bound me, Sad Memory brings the light Of other days around ine. When I remember all The friends, so link'd together, I've seen around me fall, Like leaves in wintry weather I feel like one, Who treads alone Whose lights are fled, |
