Sleighing Song.

o swift We go, DER the feecv snow,
When moon beams sparkle round;
When hoois keep time TO music's Cline
As menily on we bound.
On winters 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 laugh and song we glide along
Across the fe-ting snow;
With friends beside, how swift we ride
On the beautiful track below
o, The raging sea has joy for me-
When gales aud tenpesls roar;
But give me the speed of foaming steed.
And Ill ask for the waves no more.
