John Hill Hewitt piosenki

1. Oh, do not chide me when I weep, These tears bring me relief; The smile of joy let others keep, mine be the joy of grief. The sunbeam gilds the drooping flower; And gives it life anew; But brighter shine its tints each hour, When bathed in evening d...

1. On to the charge, our bugle rang, ’Twas heard above the battle’s clang; The gallant war-horse paw’d the ground, And neigh’d responsive to the sound; And while the red-mouth’d cannon spoke, Aloft amid the curling smoke, Our conquering banner proudly stream’d...

1. [1st Voice] When wand'ring far away in cold and distant climes, We hear the merry bells peal out their Christmas chimes; How fondly turns the heart from the Country where we roam, To find a blissful rest by our fireside at home. [2nd Voice] Their smiling li...

1. Where spicy winds kiss eastern shores, And fervid sunbeams glare Where mighty Ganges onward roars, Our flag is there huzza! Our flag is there! Where Hecla belches out its fires Upon the trembling air, And tinges ranks of icy spires, Our flag is there, huzza...

1. Our hearts are with the native land, Our song is for her glory; Her warrior's wreath is in our hand, Our lips breathe out her story. Her lofty hills and valleys green Are smiling bright before us, And like a rainbow sign is seen, Her proud flag waving o'er...

1. Our home's on the dancing wave That laughs as we cleave it through; We love the wild storm-kings stave And echo his wild haloo! There's a wreck lying on our lee, And perishing souls are aboard; Right bravely we skim o'er the sea, The welcome relief to affor...

1. Over the sea, the bright sunny sea, Charley my lover is coming to me; Blow gentle gails, fill out his sails; Charley, my sailor boy’s out on the sea. Then the storm raves over the wave, And the wild seagull shrieks loud in the foam; Over the deep I ga...

1. Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight, Make me a child again just for tonight; Mother, come back from the echoless shore, Take me again to your heart as of yore. Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the few silver threads out of my ha...

1. When the moonbeams glance upon the river, When the zephyrs press the dewy flow’rs; When the mocking bird is sadly singing In the foaming all around your bow’rs; Then I’ll rowmy skiff across the waters, And beneath your window sing my lay. While the n...

1. Star of the evening, beautiful star! Shining so brightly in realms afar! Watch o'er the cherish'd one while she sleeps; Gently, gently weep in her dreams. Kiss of the teardrops when she weeps, Star of the evening! Kiss with thy beams. CHORUS [after 1st and...

1. She knew him not-- or seem'd to shun His fix'd and srdent gaze; Her heart and soul seem'd bent upon The dance's giddy maze. Her soul was melting in her eye, While music fill'd the air; She seem'd to have no memory, of blissful days that were. 2. She knew h...

1. She wept to know she lov’d, For he was lowly born, While she in wealth and splendour mov'd With Pride's tiara on. At morning dawn, at twilight dim, Her fervent prayers were breath'd for him, The lowly youth who nobly strove To win his lady's love....

Oh, sing this song-- when thee gather A faithful, chosen few; When thoughs are mingling with each other, And hearts are warm and true. Oh sing it when the pale stars glisten Bright o'er the waveless sea; When Zephyrs seem to stop and listen Sing and remember m...

1. Sleeping, I dream'd love--dream'd love, of thee; O'er the bright waves, love, floating were we; Light is thy fair hair play'd the soft wind, Gently thy white arms round me were twined, And as thy song love swell'd o'er the sea, Fondly thy blue eyes beam'd l...

1. Into the ward of the clean whitewash'd halls, Where the dead slept and the dying lay; Wounded by bayonets, sabres and balls, Somebody's darling was borne one day. Somebody's darling so young and so brave, Wearing yet still on his sweet yet pale face,-- Soon...

1. My father-land! dear father-land!, I'm thinking of thee now; The holy light of other days Is bright'ning on my brow. I'm roaming thro' thy forests old, Where monarch eagles scream, And now my barque goes bounding o'er The Danube's troubled stream. But, ah!...

1. Oh! sweet Kitty Neal, rise up from your wheel; Your neat little foot will be weary with spinning; Come, trip down with me to the Sycamore tree, Half the parish is there, and the dance is beginning. The sun is gone down, but the full harvest moon, Shines sw...

1. Sweet Mariette, the silent stars are beaming, The placid moon is smiling on the sea; While sadly I on thy fair form am dreaming, Oh dost thou, dearest, give one thought to me? Oh dost thou, dearest, give one thought to me? 2. Dear Mariette, the glitterin...

1. Sweet Rosa’s lips are red. Her nose is crimson too, And when she goes to bed, But head to foot she’s blue. Her hands are lily white, Her cheek’s like snow I ween. Her eyes are black and bright. From head to foot she’s green; Yes, from head to foot she’s gr...

1. Tale me home to the place where I first saw the light, To the sweet sunny South take me home, Where the mocking bird sung me to rest ev'ry night, Ah! why was I tempted to roam. I think with regret of the dear ones I left, Of the warm hearts that shelter'd m...
