They seem to whisper: "Ah, the day Since then turtle-doves have been cooing, Thou'lt see him now is near." And now Bob and Mollie are wooing. LOVE'S MORNING MESSAGE. Happier days will shine in splendor; A kiss Bob would steal, but the clock (From the German ) Its reward my heart shall see, Cries" Cuckoo-cuckoo" at the gawk. When, with loving kisses tender, Moll starts and turns, discovers the thief, Morning Zephyr, sprite or fairy, My true love returns to me. Vexed, he knows not what to do, Flying by on viewless wing, For she's off and laughs to see his grief, To my love, my greeting carry All my sorrow, all my longing, Singing: " Thanks, oh thanks, cuckoo ! " And the song I fondly sing. All the fears about me thronging, Unmoved, the clock} etc. She is sleeping yet, my treasure; In thy fond arms, 0, my treasure, Let my image haunt her dreams-· Will be chaJ?ged to endless pleasure. What clouds o'er the heavens now lower? Dreams of sadness, dreams of pleasure, What makes Bob and Mollie so sour? Love and I be still your themes! They're pouting, and yet they are thinking BLONDINA, THE FLOWER-GIRL. Of the time when their lives they were linking; • May it tell thee how I love thee, (From the Italian.) Of memories fond comes a flock How my heart and life are thine, And "Cuckoo, cuckoo" calls the clock. There, by the Adriatic sea, Whisp'ring, as it floats above thee: .Just so it called that summer day past, 'Mid grass and flowers growing, "Darling, be forever mine." When she swore to love him true, I, with the waves, so blue and free, Morning Zephyr, sprite or fairy, In her arms again she folds him fast Toyed in the summer glowing. Haste, Oh haste, on viewless wing; Singing: "Thanks, oh thanks, cuckoo I " Love and kisses swiftly carry Small, of my years, was yet the sum Unmoved, the clock, etc. To the maid of whom I sing! When died, Alas! my mother, Because, from heav'n, my father See grandmother sit in her place! Had beckoned her to come. How glad, yet how tearful, her face ! EMBARRASSMENT. Ah, surely her eyes are beholding (From the German.) About the gallant youths so gay, The bright gates of heaven unfolding. There's something I would say to thee, With flow'rs to sell, I hover, Her birthday this is. Hark, a knock, But I'm not sure I know just what; Busy as bee on summer day And " Cuckoo, cuckoo" sings the clock. And would'st the reason ask of me, Amid the blooming clover. They fill the room, the great and the small, My only answer must be that The titled and the learned And 'tis" grandpa" leads the crew, · ! love thee, love, For me with love have burned. And the happy band sing, one and all, All else above; The men, they love me madly, " Many thanks, oh thanks, cuckoo ·I " Aye, none but thee, Although I treat them badly. Unmoved, the clock, etc. But thee I When I'm the hill-path threading, I fain would sing to thee a strain Or on the seashore treading, That to thy heart should find its way, They all by me would like to stroll, BELIEVE ME. They all would get acquainted .But there is only one refrain (From the Italian of A. Pinto.) Rings in my soul, both night and day: Oh joy, Oh rapture of my soul, One, such·as Fancy painted, I love thee, love, Believe me, when thy beauteous name All else above, Said to me merrily: "Blondina, I love thee, My willing lips are framing, Aye, none but thee, My very soul, up-flaming, But thee! So trust me; yes, trust me; My heart is all thine own ! " Feels love's ecstatic start; To thee a letter I'd indite But not so easily And when thy lovely eyes proclaim, That should my inmost thoughts disclose. Is gay Blondina won! By placid looks, thy pleasure, 'Tis all in vain, for, as I write, I fain would read, sweet treasure, The ink but traces, as it flows: The secret of thy heart.
