This lass so neat, with smile so sweet,

Has won my right good will,
I'd crowns resign to call her mine,

Sweet lass of Richmond Hill.

We always know she's coming by her song. And every man he tells his little tale,

And Madelon, she listens all day long. Our Madelon is never too severe A kiss or two is nothing much to herShe laughs us up to love and life and GodMadelon, Madelon, Madelon. Madelon—Song of the French Soldiers in the

Great War.

True love is but a humble, low born thing,
And hath its food served up in earthenware;
It is a thing to walk with, hand in hand,
Through the every-dayness of this workday

world.

Is she that to my soul is dear; Her glorious fanries come from far, Beneath the silver evening star,

And yet her heart is ever near.

5 Cupid and my Campaspe play'd At cards for kisses; Cupid paid; He stakes his quiver, bow and arrows, His mother's doves, and team of sparrows; Loses them too; then down he throws The coral of his lip,—the rose Growing on 's cheek (but none knows how) With these, the crystal on his brow, And then the dimple of his chin; All these did my Campaspe win. At last he set her both his eyes, She won, and Cupid blind did rise. ( Love! hath she done this to thee? What shall, alas! become of me? LYLY-Alexander and Campaspe. Act III. Sc.

10 But thou, through good and evil, praise and

blame,
Wilt not thou love me for myself alone?
Yes, thou wilt love me with exceeding love,

And I will tenfold all that love repay;
Still smiling, though the tender may reprove,

Still faithful, though the trusted may betray.

To drift upon the moonless sea,
A lute, whose leading chord is gone,

A wounded bird, that hath but one
Imperfect wing to soar upg

I've wandered east, I've wandered west,

l've bourne a weary lot;
But in my wanderings far or near

Ye never were forgot.

Still travels on its way
And channels deeper as it rins
The luve o' life's young day.

Of his goodly chambers with song and shout,

And men below, and saints above;
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
