John Anderson, my Jo, John, And sleep thegither at the foot, John Anderson, my Jo. MY pretty Jane, my pretty Jane! Ah! never, never look so shy; But meet me in the evening, While the bloom is on the rye. The spring is waning fast, my love, The corn is in the ear, The summer nights are coming, love, The moon shines bright and clear. Then, pretty Jane, my dearest Jane! Ah! never look so shy, But meet me in the evening, While the bloom is on the rye. But name the day, the wedding day, And I will buy the ring; The lads and maids in favours white The spring is waning fast, my love, The summer nights are coming, love, But meet me in the evening, While the bloom is on the rye. Edward Fitzbail. ROCKED IN THE CRADLE OF THE DEEP. ROCK'D in the cradle of the deep, And such the trust that still were mine, And calm and peaceful is my sleep, Rock'd in the cradle of the deep. Mrs. Willard. THE Minstrel boy to the war is gone, His father's sword he has girded on, And his wild harp slung behind him."Land of song!" said the warrior-bard, "Though all the world betrays thee, One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard, One faithful harp shall praise thee!" |
