Lily of the Vale.

PRICE ONE PENNY.
Copies of this favourite song can only he had in the POET'S BOX

Tune-Original,

Come, flow'ret, come hither, thy sweets shall not wither,
Unsheltered here beneath the chilling gale;
Fond mem'ries they waken of scenes now forsaken,
And her we called our lily of the vale.

Come, come, come, then come,
Come where no harm can assail,
I'll cherish a duty in shielding thy beauty.
Fair lily, fair lily of the vale.

Of one stricken-hearted, from earth now departed,
Of whom so oft we told the fleeting tale;
What thoughts newly burning, what days seem returning,
At night of thee, young lily of the vale.

Then come, &c.

Thy light pearly cluster, thy soft modest lustre,
Shall grace my humble cot in yonder dale;
And there in fond measure of her our lost treasure,
I'll sing to thee, fair lily of the vale.

Then come, &c.
