AN oLD VIOLIN.


 In far Cremona centuries ago
 This little signing. singing thing
 was wrought, -eaa ,. ofdreams 'tis fashioned and its tones
 are frausht a L With sweetness only centuries bestow: But give an artist hand the slender And hark the tumult of impassioned
 thought
 The Heaven we missed. the earth we

 blast.
 Are merged to one incomparable strain That holds the heart of every listen. E CT fast +
