MADRIGAL.
All the world is bright, >A.ll my heart is merry, Violets And roses red, -■ Bparkling in the dew : Brow— the lily's white; -Lip — the crimson berry ; Hark, I hear a lightsome tread— .. Ah, my love, 'tis you ! Wing to me, birds, and sing to me; None so happy as I ! Only the merriest melodies bring me When my beloved is by. All the air is sweet, All my heart is quiet, Fleecy clouds on breezes warm 1* loating far above ; Eye — where soft lights meet ; Cheek— where roses riot; Look, I see a gracious formal*, 'tis you, my love ! Wing to her, birds, and sing to her ; None so happy as she ! Only the merriest melodies bring , her— Only the message from me ! — Frank Dempster Sherman.
