The song that lightens the languid way	A
When brows are glowing	B
And faint with rowing	B
Is like the spell of Hope's airy lay	A
To whose sound thro' life we stray	A
The beams that flash on the oar awhile	C
As we row along thro' the waves so clear	D
Illume its spray like the fleeting smile	C
That shines o'er sorrow's tear	E
	-
Nothing is lost on him who sees	F
With an eye that feeling gave	G
For him there's a story in every breeze	F
And a picture in every wave	G
Then sing to lighten the languid way	A
When brows are glowing	B
And faint with rowing	B
'Tis like the spell of Hope's airy lay	A
To whose sound thro' life we stray	A
	-
	-
	-
'Tis sweet to behold when the billows are sleeping	B
Some gay colored bark moving gracefully by	H
No damp on her deck but the eventide's weeping	B
No breath in her sails but the summer wind's sigh	H
Yet who would not turn with a fonder emotion	I
To gaze on the life boat tho' rugged and worn	J
Which often hath wafted o'er hills of the ocean	I
The lost light of hope to the seaman forlorn	J
	-
Oh grant that of those who in life's sunny slumber	K
Around us like summer barks idly have played	L
When storms are abroad we may find in the number	K
One friend like the life boat to fly to our aid	L
	-

	-
When Lelia touched the lute	M
Not then alone 'twas felt	N
But when the sounds were mute	M
In memory still they dwelt	N
Sweet lute in nightly slumbers	F
Still we heard thy morning numbers	F
	-
Ah how could she who stole	O
Such breath from simple wire	K
Be led in pride of soul	O
To string with gold her lyre	P
Sweet lute thy chords she breaketh	Q
Golden now the strings she waketh	Q
	-
But where are all the tales	F
Her lute so sweetly told	R
In lofty themes she fails	F
And soft ones suit not gold	R
Rich lute we see thee glisten	I
But alas no more we listen	I

Young Love lived once in a humble shed	S
Where roses breathing	B
And woodbines wreathing	B
Around the lattice their tendrils spread	S
As wild and sweet as the life he led	S
His garden flourisht	S
For young Hope nourisht	S
The infant buds with beams and showers	F
But lips tho' blooming must still be fed	S
And not even Love can live on flowers	F
	-
Alas that Poverty's evil eye	H
Should e'er come hither	K
Such sweets to wither	K
The flowers laid down their heads to die	H
And Hope fell sick as the witch drew nigh	H
She came one morning	B
Ere Love had warning	B
And raised the latch where the young god lay	A
Oh ho said Love is it you good by	H
So he oped the window and flew away	A
	-
	-
	-
Spirit of Joy thy altar lies	F
In youthful hearts that hope like mine	T
And 'tis the light of laughing eyes	F
That leads us to thy fairy shrine	T
	-
There if we find the sigh the tear	E
They are not those to sorrow known	U
But breathe so soft and drop so clear	D
That bliss may claim them for her own	U
Then give me give me while I weep	V
The sanguine hope that brightens woe	W
And teaches even our tears to keep	V
The tinge of pleasure as they flow	W
	-
The child who sees the dew of night	S
Upon the spangled hedge at morn	J
Attempts to catch the drops of light	S
But wounds his finger with the thorn	J
Thus oft the brightest joys we seek	B
Are lost when touched and turned to pain	X
The flush they kindle leaves the cheek	B
The tears they waken long remain	X
But give me give me etc	B
	-
	-
	-
To sigh yet feel no pain	X
To weep yet scarce know why	H
To sport an hour with Beauty's chain	X
Then throw it idly by	H
To kneel at many a shrine	T
Yet lay the heart on none	I
To think all other charms divine	T
But those we just have won	I
This is love careless love	Y
Such as kindleth hearts that rove	Z
	-
To keep one sacred flame	A2
Thro' life unchilled unmoved	S
To love in wintry age the same	A2
As first in youth we loved	S
To feel that we adore	B2
To such refined excess	F
That tho' the heart would break with more	B2
We could not live with less	F
This is love faithful love	Y
Such as saints might feel above	Y

Dear aunt in the olden time of love	Y
When women like slaves were spurned	S
A maid gave her heart as she would her glove	Y
To be teased by a fop and returned	S
But women grow wiser as men improve	C2
And tho' beaux like monkeys amuse us	F
Oh think not we'd give such a delicate gem	D2
As the heart to be played with or sullied by them	D2
No dearest aunt excuse us	F
	-
We may know by the head on Cupid's seal	E2
What impression the heart will take	B
If shallow the head oh soon we feel	E2
What a poor impression 'twill make	B
Tho' plagued Heaven knows by the foolish zeal	E2
Of the fondling fop who pursues me	F2
Oh think not I'd follow their desperate rule	G2
Who get rid of the folly by wedding the fool	G2
No dearest aunt excuse me	F2

When Charles was deceived by the maid he loved	S
We saw no cloud his brow o'er casting	B
But proudly he smiled as if gay and unmoved	S
Tho' the wound in his heart was deep and lasting	B
And oft at night when the tempest rolled	S
He sung as he paced the dark deck over	K
Blow wind blow thou art not so cold	S
As the heart of a maid that deceives her lover	K
	-
Yet he lived with the happy and seemed to be gay	A
Tho' the wound but sunk more deep for concealing	B
And Fortune threw many a thorn in his way	A
Which true to one anguish he trod without feeling	B
And still by the frowning of Fate unsubdued	S
He sung as if sorrow had placed him above her	K
Frown Fate frown thou art not so rude	S
As the heart of a maid that deceives her lover	K
	-
At length his career found a close in death	Q
The close he long wished to his cheerless roving	B
For Victory shone on his latest breath	Q
And he died in a cause of his heart's approving	B
But still he remembered his sorrow and still	H2
He sung till the vision of life was over	K
Come death come thou art not so chill	H2
As the heart of a maid that deceives her lover	K

When life looks lone and dreary	F2
What light can dispel the gloom	I2
When Time's swift wing grows weary	F2
What charm can refresh his plume	I2
'Tis woman whose sweetness beameth	Q
O'er all that we feel or see	F2
And if man of heaven e'er dreameth	Q
'Tis when he thinks purely of thee	Q
O woman	I
	-
Let conquerors fight for glory	Q
Too dearly the meed they gain	X
Let patriots live in story	Q
Too often they die in vain	X
Give kingdoms to those who choose 'em	J2
This world can offer to me	Q
No throne like Beauty's bosom	J2
No freedom like serving thee	Q
O woman	I
