          MERRILY, O !
                  OR,
   THE TYROLESE SONG
                  OF
             LIBERTY.

Merrily ev'ry bosom boundeth,
Merrily oh ! merrily oh !
Where the song of freedom soundeth,
[dor,
There the warrior's arms shed more splen-
There the maiden's charms shine more
Every joy the land surroundeth, [tender,
Merrily oh ! merrily oh !

Wearily ev'ry bosom pineth,
Wearily oh ! wearily oh !
Where the land of slavery twineth,
Wearily oh ! wearily oh !
There the warrior's dart hath no fleetness,
There the maiden's heart hath no sweet-
Ev'ry flow'r of life declineth, [ness,
Wearily oh ! wearily oh !

Cheerily then from hill and valley,
Cheerily oh ! cheerily oh !
Like your native fountain sally,
Cheerily oh ! cheerily oh !
If a glorious death won by bravery,
Sweeter be than breath sigh'd in slavery,
Round the flag of freedom rally,
Cheerily oh ! cheerily oh !
