RETURN, OH ! MY LOVE.
"Words by Fitzhull. — Islniichy Rodivell.
Return, oh, my love, and we'll never never part,
While the moon its bri^^^ht light shall shed ;
J''l hold thee fast to my throbbing heart,
And my bosom shall pillow thy head !
The bi-eath of the woodbine is on thy lip,
Empearled in the dews of May ;
And none of its sweetness shall sip,
Or steal its bright honey away.
Return, &c.*
SWEET HOME.
Words and Music by Parry.
When wandering far on distant soil,
Where fortune bade me roam,
'Mid splendid scenes, or joy, or toil,
1 ne'er forgot my home.
Sweet, sweet home.
Sweet, sweet home.
Where'er I stray, where'er I roam,
I ne'er forget my home, sweet home ;
I ne'er forget my home.
But ah / what must the ca])tive feel,
VYhose thoughts alone are free ;
His pallid looks and sighs reveal
How much he pines for thee,
Sweet, sweet home ;
Where'er I stray, where'er I roam,
I ne'er forget my home, sweet home.
*This ditty is in the usual mystified style of Mr Fitzball,
which, witb many, passes current as poetry. The air is
rather sweet.
