Bird of the Wilderness. (THE SKYLARK.) PRICE ONE PENNY. Copies of this extremely popular song can only be had in the POET'S Box, [ ] Tune?Original. Bird of the wilderness, Blithesome and cumberless, Sweet is thy matin o'er moorland and lea ! Emblem of happiness, Blest is thy dwelling-place, Oh, to abide in the desert with thee. Wild is thy lay and loud, Far in the downy cloud, Love gives it energy, love gave it birth ; Oh, where on thy dewy wing, Where art thou journeying ? Thy lay's in heav'n, thy love is on earth. Bird of the wilderness, Blithesome and cumberless, Sweet be thy matin o'er moorland and lea ! Emblem of happiness, Blest is thy dwelling-place, Oh, to abide in the desert with thee. O'er fell and fountain sheen, O'er moor and mountain green, O'er the red streamer that heralds the day ; Over the cloudlet dim, Over the rainbow's rim, Musical cherub, soar, singing away ! Then when the gloaming comes, Low in the heather blooms, Sweet will thy welcome and bed of love be ; Oh, emblem of happiness, Blest is thy dwelling-place, Oh, to abide in the desert with thee. Bird of the wilderness, Blithesome and cumberless, Oh, to abide in the desert with thee. The POET is universally admitted to be the Cheapest LETTERPRESS PRINTER in the City.
