I did not dream those cherished chords So lightly could be broken. Oh! take me to thy heart again. I think how very sad and lone This life would be without thee; Then take me to thy heart again. "THE SULIOTE WAR SONG," Composed by BRINLEY RICHARDS. Rouse ye Palikari, Men of Suliote, rouse ye, See on yonder mountain's brow, Glows the beacon light! Warlike songs are singing,- To the coming Fight. What though foes surround us, Or die as warriors die. Come with weapons gleaming- "AWAKE LITTLE PILGRIM." Poetry by the Rev. D. T. K. DRUMMOND. Awake, little pilgrim, the day is at hand, The rays of the morning appear on the land; O, haste with thy burden to life's narrow gate, Ere the night shadows falling proclaim thee too late Knock, little pilgrim, it shall not be vain, Thy feeble entreaties admittance shall gain; "THE DEW-DROP AND THE ROSE." Poetry by ISABELLA HAMPTON. Composed by G. A. OSBORNE. Price 2s. 6d. The dew-drop instinctively felt there had come A shelter he sought next the heart of the rose, Still nearer came that sunbeam gay, As he called the rose his bride, Those words the dew-drop heard him say, "THE CHRISTMAS ROSE."

'Mid wintry frost and snow it blows; And opes its portals pure and fair, When winds have swept the gay parterre. Just like a true and constant friend, Not the mere friend of summer day, But firm when joy hath passed away. This flower is like the joys that shine, In sorrow's hour and life's decline, When youth hath passed and pleasure flown, Then marvel not that thus I twine My thoughts around this gift of thine, And muse on hopes and joys that last, And bloom through life's most piercing blast." "I'M NOT IN LOVE, REMEMBER.” Poetry by JESSICA RANKIN. Composed by M. W. BALFE. Price 25. Prithee tell me, gentle air, Why my heart is full of care, And why no pleasures charm me?

"MARGARETTA," BY BALFE, SUNG BY SIMS REEVES. My head is ever crazing, I could not speak for gazing. My dark-eyed Margaretta, A wayward boyish folly; Most sweet, most melancholy. To be a boy again, And dream of Margaretta. Oh! mem'ry of the past, Why linger to regret her? And that is Margaretta. "IT WAS FIFTY YEARS AGO." BY HATTON. It was fifty years ago In the pleasant month of May, In the beautiful Pays de Vaud, And Nature, the old nurse, Took the child upon her knee, Saying. "Here is a story-book Thy Father has written for thee." And he wander'd away and away She would sing a more wonderful song, Or tell a more marv'lous tale. So she keeps him still a child, And will not let him go, Though at times his heart beats wild For the beautiful Pays de Vaud; Though at times he hears in his dreams The Raudezvaches of old; And the rush of mountain streams From glaciers clear and cold. And the Mother at home says, "Hark! For his voice I listen and yearn It is growing late and dark, And my boy does not return." "WHY DON'T HE TELL ME SO?" BY BERGER, SUNG BY MISS LOUISA VINNING. In truth, I think he loves me, For I have often seen I might scorn to hear the words, They tell me that he loves me," SWEETHEART," BY BALFE, SUNG BY WILBYE COOPER. I know not what his name may be; I only know he pleases me, As loud he sings-and thus sings he- If I should sing a whole year long. "DON'T COME TEASING ME, SIR." BY HATTON. You're wasting time, most precious time, In dangling daily here, Sir, Go seek elsewhere your lady fair, And learn to be sincere, Sir. The damsel pert with whom you flirt, Will suit you best, I see, Sir, So keep away I humbly pray, So keep away, &c. I've grown quite tir'd of being admir'd, For all you say to me to-day, Is neither new, nor true, Sir. Your oft-told tale is old and stale, Your actions don't agree, ir, In short, you find I've changed my mind, It yields to one who shares with none, So keep away, &c. "THE MAID I LOVE HATH MANY A GRACE," BY HATTON, SUNG BY MR. LOCKEY. The maid I love hath many a grace; How fair her form, how sweet her face! And can'st thou teil me, Mariner, Fast sailing o'er the sea, If ship, or sail, or evening star, The maid I love, &c. If herds, or sunlit valleys green, BOOSEY & SONS, Musical Library, Holles-street.
