Sweet WOman'S Voice.

The music of sweet woman's voice
To me is ever dear;
No other tones SO softly fall
Upon my listening ear;
No matter in what land | roam,
l ever shall rejoice;
When gently falls upon my ear
The echo of her voice.
There are no sounds of melody,
So like to heaven above,
As spring from woman's gentle heart,
In tones of purest love;
Her voice can all the clouds dispel,
Of sorrow, pain and care;
And pass into mans secret soul,
And vibrate ever there.
When shall l feel those zephyrs sweet.
Of Heavens sunny cline;
When round my brow shall be wreath
Of love and faith divine;
ask no greater. happier boon,
Than that / may rejoice,
And welcomed be i'll Paradise
By woman's angel voice.

HUM BILE LIFE
Tell me not that he's poor man,
That his dress is coarse and bare,
Tell me not his daily pittance
Is workman's scanty fare;
Tell me not his birth is humble,
That his parentage is low;
Is he honest in his notions?
That is all want to know,
Is his word to be relied on?
Has his character no blame?
Then | care not if he's low born
Then | care not whence his name;
Would he from an unjust action
Turn away with scornful eye?
Would he, than defraud another,
Sooner on a scafold die?
Would he spend his haId-gained earnings
On brother in distress?
Would he succor the afflicted,
And the weak ones wrong redress?
Then he is man deserving
OF my love and my esteem,
And care not what his birthplace
In the eye of man may seem.
Let it be low thatched howell
Let it be a clay built COT
Let it be a county work-house-
In my eyes it matters not.
And if others will disown him,
As inferior to their caste,
Let them do i'll befriend him.
As brother, to the last.
