MUSIC. 



Two sister nymphs, the fair Avenas, lead 

 Their fleecy squadrons o'er the lawns of Tweed; 

 Pass with light step his wave-worn banks along, 

 And wake his echoes with their silver tongue; 

 Or touch the reed, as gentle love inspires, 

 In notes accordant to their chaste desires. 



Darwin, 



SENTIMENT. 



Young thoughts have music in them, love, 



And happiness their theme, 

 And music wanders in the wind 



That lulls a morning dream. 

 And there are an^el voices heard 



In childhood's trolic hours, .- 

 When life is but an April day 



Of sunshine and of flowers. 

 There 's music in the forest leaves, 



When summer winds are there, 

 And in the laugh of forest girls, 



That braid their sunny hair. 

 The first wild bird that drinks the dew, 



From violets of the spring, 

 Has music in his song, and in 



The fluttering of his wing. 



HalUck.
