HOLIDAY SONG.
“Away with melancholy.”
DUET.
Come, school-mates gather round me,
For time with gentle wing,
Is floating o'er our pastime,
As we merrily, merrily sing,
Holiday!

As we merrily, merrily sing,
Holiday!

Then join the happy chorus,
And let our motto be,
To work with all our hearts at school,
And frolic when we're free!

Releas'd awhile from duty,
Our minds are resting now,
Though boasting still the fruitage
We've cull'd from learning's bough.

We gladly take the flowers
That Leisure's hands have brought,
Though we shunn'd her idle bowers,
When study claim'd our thought.

What youth shall wear the laurel,
When our joyful song is done?
He who with patient labour
His tutor's smile has won.
