INTRODUCTION.

SONG. "WE'LL BE JOLLY, WE'LL BE GAY." (Written and Composed by H. DRAYTON.)

We'll be jolly, we'll be gay,

We'll be happy while we may,
And we'll sing a merry song,
As we journey on our way:

And we'll leave our homes awhile;
But we'll leave them with a smile,
For our hearts to them belong,

In our peaceful sunny isle.

Roaming o'er the briny sea,
Watching waves that sport in glee-
Sparkling in the sunny light,
Watching sea-birds in their flight-
We will sing of days gone by,
And should mem'ry cause a sigh,
It will vanish on the breeze,
Wafted far across the seas.

We'll be jolly, we'll be gay,
We'll be happy while we may,
And we'll sing a merry song,
As we journey on our way.

We'll be jolly, we'll be gay,
We'll be happy while we may;
To our friends at home, we'll tell
What we've seen upon our way.
When the fire's ruddy light
On the hearth is burning bright,
"Twill be like a fairy spell,
Cheering many a winter's night.

And the old folks sitting round,
With attention most profound:
And the children on the floor,
As we tell those stories o'er,
Will be happy all the while,
As the hours we beguile,

And from fond hearts round us there,
We will chase away all care.

We'll be jolly, we'll be gay,
We'll be happy while we may;
To our friends at home, we'll tell
What we've seen upon our way.

SONG.

"THE SEA IS BEFORE US."*

(Written by H. DRAYTON-Composed by H. RUSSELL.)
Now the sea is before us so trackless and vast,
The blue sky is o'er us, our vessel speeds fast;
The wind blowing fair, and the heart light and free,
Oh! what can compare with a life on the sea!
Who thinks of to-morrow, whate'er may arise?
And who cares for sorrow, when from it he flies?
The past let us banish; the sun's cheerful ray
Will make sadness vanish, when hope points the way.

And with dance and with song we'll enliven the hours
If tears have been shed, they'll be like summer showers;
As the breeze that is blowing, our hearts shall be free.
Oh! what can compare with a life on the sea!
And we gaze on the sun, sinking slowly to rest;
His bright crimson glory now tinges the west,

And our thoughts then will borrow the crimson and gold,
As we near the new world, while we're leaving the old.
By the light of the stars, and the bright silver moon,
We merrily dance to some jolly old tune,

Or list to a yarn, or some jovial song,

While the good ship is steadily gliding along.

And we thus pass the time far away on the deep,
We're rocked by the billow, which lulls us to sleep:
We dream that our future more happy will be.
Oh! what can compare with a life on the sea!
