22 SEE THE MOON O'ER CLOUDLESS JURA. Written by D. Weir, Greenock. Adapted to the celebrated Of " Rousseau's Dream. "

See the moon o'er cloudless Jura Shining in the lake below; See the distant mountain towering Like a pyramid of snow. Scenes of grandeur-scenes of childhood- Scenes so dear to love and me! Let us roam by bower and wildwood, All is lovelier when with thee.

On Leman's breast the winds are sighing, All is silent in the grove, And the flowers with dew-drops glistening Sparkle like the eye of love. Night so calm, so clear, so cloudless; Blessed night to love and me! Let us roam by bower and fountain, All is lovelier when with thee.

TELL ME, MY HEART. Music by Bishop.

Tell me, my heart, why morning prime Looks like the fading eve? Why the gay lark's celestial chime Shall tell the soul to grieve? The heaving bosom seems to say, Ah! hapless maid, your love's away. Your love's away.

Tell me, any heart, why summer's glow A wintery day beguiles ? Why Flora's beauties seem to blow, And fading Nature smiles ? Some zephyr whispers in my car, Ah! happy, maid, your love is near. Your love is near.
