O my heart, my heart is break-ing For

Her dark brown hair is braided

O'er a brow of spotless white;

Her soft blue eye now languishes,
Now flashes with delight:-
The hair is braided not for me,
The eye is turn'd away;

Yet my heart, my heart is breaking,
For the love of Alice Gray.

Alice Gray.

I've sunk beneath the summer's sun,
I've trembled in the blast;

But my pilgrimage is nearly done-
The weary conflict's past:

And when the green sod wraps my grave,
May pity haply say :-

'O! his heart, his heart was broken,

For the love of Alice Gray !'

LOVE, LITTLE BLIND URCHIN.

But, thus wounded, their hearts she forgot 'em. Left by Prudence, the maids turn'd out silly, and [said No.' They often said 'Yes,'-when they should have

I press'd my native strand,

I've wandered many miles at sea,

And many miles on land.

I've seen all nations of the earth,

Of every hue and tongue,

Which taught me how to prize the worth

Of that from which I sprung.

My native land, I turn to you,

With blessing and with prayer, Where man is brave and woman true,

And free as mountain air.

Long may our flag in triumph wave
Against the world combin'd,
And friends a welcome-foes a grave,
Within our borders find.

That song in a shady spot like this,
Though a tear may fall for ev'ry word,
Sing on, sing on-for such tears are bliss.
