Seraphim (November 2020)

“ And not I, am not I, say, a merry Swiss boy,
When I hie to the mountain away?
And not I, am not say, a merry Swiss boy,
When I hie to the mountain away?
For there a shepherd maiden dear,
Awaits my song with listening ear,
Am not I, &c.
Then at night, then at night, O, a gay Swiss boy!
I'm away to my comrades, away.
Then at night, then at night, O, a gay Swiss boy!
I'm away to my comrades, away.
The cup we fill, the wine is passed,
In friendship round, untill at last,
With "Good night," and "Good night," goes the happy Swiss boy
To his home and he slumbers away. ”

Seraphim (November 2020)

“ What equals on earth the delight of the huntsman
⁠For whom does life's cup more enchantingly flow?
To follow the stag thro' the forest and meadows,
⁠When brightly the beams of the morning first glow.
Oh! this is a pleasure that's worthy of princes,
⁠And health is in its wanderings can ever be found,
When echoing caverns and forests surround us,
⁠More blythely the pledge of the goblet will sound. ”

Seraphim (November 2020)

“ But say, shall brave millions ay bow to oppression,
And weep out existence in sorrow and pain.
No--mark the brave sons of the land of Columbia,
Their broad spreading eagle fair freedom unfolds.
Their rich glowing vallies are sounding with gladness;
And each tolling peasant sweet plenty beholds.
O come, ye Spartans! tho' dreary the prospect,
Come, for our children demand no delay;
Arouse! or our country will fall into ruins,
And grim-eyed oppression will hail the dark day. ”
