XLIV.
Rivalry—A Song.

[_]

Air—“Remember me.”

'Tis sweet in music's mirthful hour,
When Beauty's dark eyes brightly shine,
To know the loveliest round the bower
Are those that steal a glance at thine;—
To know that when their wandering wiles
O'er many a rival's face hath past,
In love's soft lingering broken smiles,
They'll seek repose on thee at last.
'Tis sweet when ardent lovers gaze
On lips they vainly wish to press,
When many an eye enamoured strays
O'er beauties they would fain caress,
To know she'll leave them all and fly
With thee to summer's moonlight grove,
To give thy lips her softest sigh,
And linger on thy breast of love.
