A MOUNTAIN ROUND.

Take hands, merry neighbours, for dancing the round!
Moonlight is fair, and delicious the air.
From valley to valley our music shall sound,
And startle the wolf in his lair.
From summits of snow to the forests below,
Let vulture and crow hear the echoes—O ho! (O ho!)
While shadows on meadows in dancing the round
Go whirligig, pair after pair!
