'Twixt the departing
And the upstarting, Happy to be; And at the call of
Memory cherish'd,
Future and perish'd Moments we see.
Seasons of anguish,--
Ah, they must ever
Truth from woe sever, Love and joy part; Days still more worthy
Soon will unite us,
Fairer songs light us, Strength'ning the heart.
We, thus united,
Think of, with gladness,
Rapture and sadness, Sorrow now flies.
Oh, how mysterious
Fortune's direction!
Old the connection,
New-born the prize!
Thank, for this, Fortune,
Wavering blindly!
Thank all that kindly Fate may bestow!
Revel in change's
Impulses clearer,
Love far sincerer, More heartfelt glow!
Over the old one,
Wrinkles collected,
Sad and dejected, Others may view; But, on us gently
s.h.i.+neth a true one,
And to the new one We, too, are new.
As a fond couple
'Midst the dance veering,
First disappearing, Then reappear, So let affection
Guide thro' life's mazy
Pathways so hazy Into the year!
1802.
----- ANNIVERSARY SONG.
[This little song describes the different members of the party just spoken of.]
WHY pacest thou, my neighbour fair,
The garden all alone?
If house and land thou seek'st to guard,
I'd thee as mistress own.
My brother sought the cellar-maid,
And suffered her no rest; She gave him a refres.h.i.+ng draught,
A kiss, too, she impress'd.
My cousin is a prudent wight,
The cook's by him ador'd; He turns the spit round ceaselessly,
To gain love's sweet reward.
We six together then began
A banquet to consume, When lo! a fourth pair singing came,
And danced into the room.
Welcome were they,--and welcome too
Was a fifth jovial pair.
Brimful of news, and stored with tales
And jests both new and rare.
For riddles, spirit, raillery,
