There grows no vine
By the haunted Rhine,
By the Danube or Guadalquiver,
Nor on island or cape,
That bears such a grape,
As grows by the beautiful river.
Very good in its way
Is the Verzenay,
Or the Sillery, soft and creamy ;
But Catawba wine
Has a taste more divine,
More dulcet, delicious, and dreamy.
And pure as a spring
Is the wine I sing,
And to praise it one needs but name it,
For Catawba wine
Has need of no sign,
No tavern bush to proclaim it.
And this song of the vine,
This greeting of mine,
The winds and the birds shall deliver,
To the Queen of the West,
In her garlands dress'd,
On the banks of the beautiful river.

Julius Cassar the Roman, who yielded to no man, Then the Spanish Armada set out to invade her,
Came by water, he could not come by land, Quite sure if they ever came nigh land,
And Dane, Pict, and Saxon, their homes turn'd theirThey could not do less than tuck up Queen Bess,
And take their full swing in the Island ;
The drones came to plunder the Island,
Oh ! the poor Queen and the Island,
But snug in the hive,
The Queen was alive,
And buz was the word at the Island.

And live on yon beautiful Island." And stoop to the lads of the Island ;
Says he, " 'tis a snug little Island," The good Wooden Walls of the Island,
Shan't us go visit the Island? Huzza ! for the lads of the Island,
Hop, skip, and jump, Devil or Don,
There he was plump, Let 'em come on,
And he kicked up a dust in the Island. But how'd they come off at the Island.
backs on,
And all for the sake of our Island.
Oh ! what a snug little Island,
They'd all have a touch at the Island,
Some were shot dead,
Some of them fled,
And some stayed to live in the Island.
Then a very great war man, call'd Billy the Norman,
Cried " hang it, I never lik'd my land,
Yet party deceit help'd the Normans to beat,
Of traitors they managed to buy land,
By Dane, Saxon, or Pict we had never been lick'd,
Had they stuck to the King of the Island;
He lost both his life and his Island,
Poor Harold the King of the Island ;
That's very true,
What could he do ?
Like a Briton he died for his Island.
I don't wonder much that the French and the Dutch
Have since been oft tempted to try land,
And I wonder much less they have met no success,
For why should we give up our Island ?
Oh ! 'tis a wonderful Island,
All of 'em long for the Island,
Hold a bit there,
Let 'em take fire and air,
But we'll have the Sea and the Island.
Then since Freedom and Neptune have hitherto kept
tune
In each saying "This shall be my land,"
Should the Army of England, or all they can bring,
land,
We'd show them some play for the Island ;
We'd fight for our right to the Island,
We'd give them enough of the Island,
Invaders should just
Bite at the dust,
Bnt not a bit more of the Island.

" Lady, dost thou not fear to stray,
So lone and lovely, thro' this bleak way ?
Are Erin's sons so good or so cold,
As not to be tempted by woman or gold ? '
".Sir Knight, I feel not the least alarm,
No son of Erin will offer me harm ;
For tho' thev love woman and golden store,
Sir Knight, they love honour and virtue more."
On she went, and her maiden smile,
In safety lighted her round the green isle ;
And bless'd for ever is she who relied
Upon Erin's honour and Erin's pride.

Shall join in your revels, your sport, and your

And return to me beaming all o'er with your smiles —
Too blest, if it tells me that, mid the gay cheer,
Some kind voice had murmured, "I wish he were

Let Fate do her worst, there are relics of joy,
Bright dreams of the past, which she cannot de-
stroy,
Which come in the night-time of sorrow and care,
And bring back the features that joy used to wear.
Long, long be my heart with such memories fill'd,
Like the vase in which roses have once been dis-

Tou may break, you may ruin the vase, if you will
But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.

Out from thy heart was breathed a sigh
When last thou said farewell 1
A look of love beam'd from thine eye,
'Twas more than tongue could tell.
No pledge of troth thou gav'st to me,
And yet thy faith is known ;
For though I may be far from thee,
I claim thee as my own.
Farewell, my only lore,
A thousand times adieu.
Good night, good night, farewell, good night.

No more to chiefs and ladies bright
The harp of Tara swells ;
The chord alone, that breaks at night,
Its tale of ruin tells :
Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes,
The only throb she gives
Is when some heart indignant breaks,
To show that still she lives.

Oh, no! it was something more exquisite still. When we see them reflected from looks that we love.

The minstrel fell, but the foeman's chain
Could not bring that proud soul under,
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder ;
And said, "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and bravery !
Thy songs were made for the pure and free,
They shall never sound in slavery ! "

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own, Oh ! the heart that has truly lov'd never forgets,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear, But as truly loves on to the close,
That the fervour and faith of a soul can be known, As the sun -flow'r turns on her god when he sets
To which time will but make thee more dear. The same look which she turn'd when he rose.

But dreams of the future allured me,
Such dreams as young hearts only know,
When the skies are all sunshine and glory,
And this earth seems a heaven below ;
And swiftly my bark bore me onward,
As gaily she dashed through the foam,
Par from the arms of my kindred —
The true hearts, the fond hearts at home.
Like the beautiful tints of the evening.
My fancy's bright dream soon was o'er,
I returned to the home of my fathers,
To the arms of my kindred once more;
" Stay, stay," said the lov'd ones at meeting,
" Oh ! say thou wilt never more roam ;"
"If there's bliss," I replied, "in this wide world,
'Ti6 found with the fond hearts at home."

He holds up his head, and tells of the dead,
And the wounded his beauty has left ;
Lightly he'll boast of the love-smitten host
By his charms of their peace bereft.
Oh ! heave not a sigh at the blink of his eye,
Though melting its beam may be ;
He seeks to entrance your souls with a glance,
But a gay deceiver is he.
Scout him and flout him — he worships a stone,
For the image he doats on is only his own.
This gallant and gay Sir Harry, they say,
Has reckon'd his worth in gold,
Sir Harry is not to be given away,
He is only a thing to be sold.
Maidens, don't fret, though his whiskers of jet
Right daintily trimm'd may be ;
Oh I give him no part of a woman's warm heart,
For a gay deceiver is he.
Scout him and flout him with pride and scorn,
And leave him and his beauty to live forlorn.

Who truly loves, he has no time
This love in words to measure,
Who once has lov'd if that is fled,
Ne'er finds in love a pleasure.
But what are words ? the blissful glance,
The firm hand's silent pressure,
The glowing kiss — they tell the tale
In words that have no measure.
But really love, oh ! truly love,
Sigh, weep, long love complaineth !
But shout aloud, through all that lives,
'Tis love eternal reigneth.

And lovingly begun to chide her ;
Then wiping from her cheek the tear,
He sat him on the grass beside her ;

They vow they'll invade us, if all lose their lives,
But that scarcely frightens our children and wives;
But should their screw steamers in darkness get o'er,
Free Britons they'll find to receive them on shore !

"Oh, Ellen !" he cried, "give no heed to their story,

Behold me return'd, crown'd with laurels and glory,
In safety to home and my Ellen again :
Again through the wild wood and green shady bow'rs,
We'll seek with our darling the sweet-breathing
flow'rs,
And a foretaste of heav'n again shall be ours,
As when you first call'd me your gallant Hussar."
Oh ! my heart leapt with rapture again to behold him,
I thought on his breast was a bright shining star,
Which seem'd, as I eagerly strove to enfold him,
To vanish, disclosing the life-letting scar.
I awoke from my dream, 'twas the dawning of morning,
So cheerless and cold with the sad truth returning,
And knew that I still was a widow left mourning,
For ever bereft of my gallant Hussar.

Where our bridal couch shall be,
And the bloom on thy cheek so fair, love,

Our dreams shall all be of fairy-laud,
For we'll rest by a silv'ry lake,
And fays shall be waiting for thy command,
When each rosy morn shall break.

Where our love shall unchanging be,
And at morning bright, or by pale moonlight,

storm de - mons moan, By the shell - stud-ded o - cean there, there would I be.
Where the dark forest-lords tangle their boughs, Among the blue hills or beside the deep flood,
And close shadow'd dew-drops are sparkling at Where the weed robes the rock and the moss folds
noon ; the tree ;
Where gipsy bands linger to sleep and carouse With the surge of the wave and the song of the wood,
In the covert that shuts out the wind and the With freedom and nature there, there would I be,

Let them come from the loom, from the plough, and Let them dwell in sweet peace till a moment may
the forge, come
Let their bugles ring louder and louder ; When the shot of an enemy rattle ;
Let the dark city street and the deep forest gorge And the spirits that cling the most fondly to home,
Prove that labour makes valour the prouder. Will be first to rush forth in the battle".
Then here's to the Gray, &c. (Repeat Chorus.)
