OH COME TO THE WOODLANDS!

Peeps so soft hro the trees that the dark shades OF Night
Like pale ghosts afffightsd, steal swiftly away
And Nature smiles glorious at coming OF day
Oh, come TO the woodlands the pure, gentle breeze,
Sing, ,oyous and sweet it steals thro' the trees
And the murmuring brook, as 1t glides by our cot
Brings back fond Memory bright scenes long forgot.
Oh come TO the woodlands THE waterfall gay,
The green fragrant banks and the bright dashng spray,
The dew-drops Of pearl, which enl1en the flowers
Oh, what can be loyeer TO gid lonely hours?-
Oh, come to the woodlands the wild forest glades
Where the singing birds build beneath the dark shades
OF the tall spreading OAK the hickory, the pine,
And the pyramids formed BY the rich blosson'd vine.
Oh come TO the woodlands the mock-birds wild gee
Waited on by the breeze us he sings in the tree
Will drive saddest thoughts far away from the mind,
And guide back TO Hope and 10 Joy, left behind
Oh, come to the woodlands 1.-THE laurels in bloom
The wild roses send forth their richest perfume,
And the guy feathed songsters while round they
With glad notes of music eniven each grove.
Oh come 10 the woodlands !-comc view the rich scene
Natures "forest children in garments Of green
The deep tangled wild wood and Summers bright bowers
Spangled over by Flora with loveiest flowers.

Then come from the citys dull mart haste away
Here reiens triumphant with HEALTH Peace and Love

And angels will guard thee till morning appears.
