 SLEIGHING SONG.

we go, o'er the fleecy snow,

When moonbeams sparkle round;

When hoofs keep time to music's chime,

As merrily on we bound.

On a winter's night, when hearts are light,

And health is on the wind,

We loose the rein and sweep the plain,

And leave our cares behind.

With a laugh and song, we glide along

Across the fleeting snow;

With friends beside, how swift we ride

On the beautiful track below!
