Vocal Quartett,... "Spring is come."......Mendelssohn.

[blocks in formation]

Season of pleasures! soon thou art here,
Scattering treasures, crowning the year.
Dances each fountain, rivulets sing,

Valley and mountain, greet thee, O spring!

Gentle gales lightly, fan the warm beam,
Golden fins brightly sport in the stream;
Birds flutter o'er us, all the woods ring,
Nature in chorus greets thee, O spring!

Bees to the bowers, merrily throng,
Sipping the flowers murmuring song.
Heav'nward ascending odours arise,
Breezes descending, float from the skies:
One thither rushes, lightly it flies,
"Tis in the bushes fading in sighs!

Now hither winging, 'tis in my breast!
Muses! all singing say I am blest!
Yesterday, sisters, who should appear?
Wafted on Zephyrs, Beauty came here!

Air.........from the Opera " Maritana”

G. F. GLENNIE.

Alas! those chimes so sweetly stealing,
Gently dulcet to the ear,

Sound like pity's voice revealing

To the dying, death is near.
Still he slumbers, how serenely,

Not a sigh disturbs his rest;
Oh! that angels now might waft him
To the mansions of the blest.

Yes, yes those chimes so softly swelling,
As from some holy sphere,

Sound like hymns of spirits telling

To the dying, peace is near.

Come! abide with us in heaven,

Here no grief can reach thy breast;

Come! approving angels wait thee

In the mansions of the blest.

Walluce.

When all alone my bonnie love was playing,
And I saw Phoebus stand at a gaze staying,
Alas! I feared there would be some betraying.

(The words translated by T. Watson, A.D. 1590.)
