SONG OF THE TEETOTALLER
BY REV. Gro W. BETHuNE, D. d.
| Let others praise the ruby bright,
In the red wines sparkling glow,
| Bearer to me is the diamond light
! Ofthe fountains clearer flows
! The feet ofearthly men have trod
The Juice from the bleeding vine,
But the stream comes pure from the handof G. cd
TO I'LL this cup of mine.
Then give me the cup of cold water
The clear sweet cup Of cold water
For hisarm isstrong, though his toll be long,
Who drinks but the clear cold water.
The dew drop lies in the flowret's cup,
How rich is its perfume now
And the fainting earth with Joy looks W,
When heaven sheds rain on her brow
The brook goes forth with pleasant voice,
To gladden. the vale along,
And the bending trees on her banks rejoice
To hear her quiet song.
Then give me the cup of cold water
The clear, sweet cup Of cold water
For bright is his eye and his spirit high,
Who drinks but the cup Of cold water.
The lark scars up with lighter strain
When the wave has washed her wing;
And the steed filings back his Numbering name
In might Of the chrysial spring
This was the drink of Paradise
Ere blight on her beauty fell,
And the buried streams of her gladness rise
In every moss. grown we'll
Then here's to the cup Of cold water
The pure, sweet cup Of cold water
For nature gives to all that lives
But drink of the clear cold water
-JeferSoaiaa.
