nrais sweat.

g Oh, life is sweets" said q merry child
And love, I love to roam
In the meadows green, meath the sky serene
Oh the world is fairy home.
There are trees hung thick with blossoms fair,
And flowers gay and bright;
There's the moons clear ray, and the sun-ht day
oh, the world is a world of lightt'
sOh. life is sweet % said gallant youth,
As he conned the storied page;
And he ponder'd on the days by-gone,
And the fame of a former age.
There was hope in his bright and beamins 9ye,
And he longed for ripper years;
He chung to life-he dared its strife
He felt nor dread nor fears.
oh, life is sweet !'' came merrily
From the lips of a fair young bride;
And happy smile she gave the while
To the dear one by her side.
sob, life is sweet for we will live
Our constancy to prove;
Thy sorrows mine, my trials thine,
Our solace in our love-"
Oh, life is sweet'' said IA mother fond.
As she gazed on her helpless child;
And she closer press'd to her gladden'd breast
Her babe, who, unconscious smiled.
Z" My life shall be for thee, my child,
Pure, guiltless, as thou art
And who shall dare my soul to tear
From the tie that forms part %
sc Oh, life is sweet' said aged sire,
Whose eye was sunk and dim;
His form was bent-his strength was spent
Could life be sweet to him
Oh, yes for round the old mans chair
His children's children clunp: e..-
And each dear face and warm embrace
Made life seem ever young.
Thus life is sweet, from early youth
To weak, enfeebled age;
Love twines with life, through care and strife,
In every varied stage.
Tho rough, perchanee, the path we tread,
And dark the sky above,
In every state there's something yet
To live for and to love.
