THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH

No sweet song bird
That e'er l. heard
In hoWery dale and thicket,
Can match your voice,
Bird of my choice,
Ny tuneful, cheerful cricket.
For some birds may
Obtrude their lay,
Not knowing bow to nick it
In point of time,
Or sweetly chime
With mood, like you, my cricket.
No flute e'er blown,
Or ergan tone,
No banjo, could / pick it,
Would sOoths my heart
With music's art
Like you, my precious cricket.
Te lands far back
On life's dull track
seem to take ticket
And whirl away,
When blithe and gay
Your whistle blows. my cricket.
Like sweet perfumes
OF faded blooms
In clover when we rick it,
Your happy lay
Frem far away
Holds echoes, darling cricket.
In life's game tost
Now won, now lost,
I've almost reached the wicket;
By our hearthStone
I'd be alone
Without you, comrade cricket.
My ireside sprite,
My brownie bright,
Let sportive fancy trick it
With any name
'Tis still the same,
My faithful, tuneful cricket.
