Unerring aim, we mark the game,
And proudly bear it home.
A Winter's night, has its delight,
Weil warmed to bed we go ;
A Winter's day, we're blythe and gay,
Snipe shooting in the snow.
A country life without the strife,
And noisy din ot town,
Is all I need, I take no heed.
Of splendour or renown,
And when I die, oh ! let me lie.
Where trees above me wave ;
Let wild plants bloom, around my toml),
My quiet country grave.*
FORLORN AND BROKEN HEARTED.
A DUET.
From " Rob Roy."
Forlorn and broken hearted,
J wee]-) ray last adieu ;
And sigh o'er Joys departed,
That time can ne'er renew.
Farewell ! my love, I leave thee.
For some far distant shore ;
Let no fond hope deceive thee,
We part to meet no more.
Tho' grief may long oppress thee,
Your lov"^ I'll ne'er resign ;
My latest sigh shall bless thee, —
My last sad tear be thine.
*This and the preceding song are taken from " The
Village Coquettes," by C, Dickens, Esq. <' Boz."
