Hymn To The Sun.
HYMN TO THE SUN .
GLORIOUS Sun ! I joyous hail thee , Creation owns thy cheering rays ; Nature ' s homage ne ' er can fail thee , Bach flower its grateful tribute pays . Shining scenes of gaudy splendour ;
To the heart no joy can render ; Fair nature like to thee . Nor marble hall—nor regal throne , Nor silken veil—nor diamond zone ; Are half so dear to me . All around breathes truth beside me ,
Flattery ' s lips can ' t here deride me , The only incense here Is the perfume of the flowers , Blooming round earth ' s native bowers ,. Shedding their fragrance near . Glorious Sun ! thy path pursuing ,
Fair Thetis waits thee ' neath the main , Till the morn , thy task renewing , Shall call thee back to earth again . Vallombrosa , August 24 ., J . F . S .
The Mariner's Toast.
THE MARINER ' S TOAST .
BY BROTHER JOHN LEE STEVENS . Air , " Le PetU Amour . " The four last lines in each stanza to be repeated with the first part of the air . You ask me for a toast , my boys , 1 will not keep you long .
Nor offer an apology For giving it in song : So grasp your glasses cheerily , And take the time from me , — Here ' s " The Mariners in harbour , And the jolly Tars at sea ! "
