WORDS FOR HOOK'S FOURTH LESSON.

LOVELY SHELAH.

Come, lovely Shelah—come, lovely Shelah,
Let us ramble o'er the dewy mountains, Shelah.
Let blossoms please thee,
No cares shall tease thee,
Let us taste the breezy morn.

[_]

Da Capo.

There my songs I'll sing thee,
There the flowers I'll bring thee,
Larks shall carol cheerly,
There my songs I'll sing thee,
There the flowers I'll bring thee,
Down amongst the waving corn.

[_]

Da Capo first five lines.
