 State in Schuylkill."

SONG. 



Air. — " Believe me in all those endearing young charms.'^ 



Moore. 



Forgot be each sorrow, and business and care, 

 From the soul free and social be driven : 



What the heart truly feels, sure the tongue may declare, 

 That to pleasure these moments are given. 



Since this club was first form'd, 'tis a long lapse of time, 



But behold! how it flourishes yet! 

 Like the Goddess of youth, it still blooms in its prime, 



May its sunshine of joy never set. 



Then a glass to their memory who laid the first stone. 



Of the Castle we met in to day; 

 Here they met, and the scenes we enjoy were their own. 



As they chaunted life's troubles away. 



They are gone to their rest, but their work is still seen, 

 Hither, members and guests, full of glee 



Shall resort, while the Banks of the Schuylkill are green. 

 Or its waters glide on to the sea.
