HE SWEET SCENTED ONION.

How dear to heart are the scenes or Bern1uda When fond recollection presents them to view {; The rosy tomato, the bright-eyed potato, The tear drawing onion which havors the stew
 That jolly round onion,
 That silver skinned onion.
 The sweet scented onion which grew in this isle. How sweet from the hot frying pan to receive it, As poised on my fork it inclines to my lips;
 Not full stafe dinner would tempt me to leave it. Though coupled with nectar that Jupiter sips;
 That jolly round onion,
 That silver skinned onion.
 The sweet tssented onion which grew in this isle And now far removed from that loved situation, The tear of regret will intrusively fall,
 As fancy reverts to the Bermuda plantation,
 And sighs for the onion wherever we go;
 That jolly round onion,
 That silver skinned onion,
 The sweet scented onion which grew in this isle.
