 Far away, good angels, drive 
 
 Night and sin and sadness ; 
 Ea»'th awakes, in smiles an've 
 
 With her dear Lord's gladness. 
 
 Chorus — Breaks the joyful Easter dawn, 
 Clearer yet and stronger ; 
 Winter from the world has gone, 
 ]>eath shall be no longer. 
 
 2 Housed from long and lonely hours. 
 
 Under snow-drifts chilly, 
 In his hands he brings the flowers. 
 
 Brings the rose and lilly ; 
 Every little bui'ied bud 
 
 Into life he raises. 
 Every wild flower of the wood 
 
 Sings the dear Lord's praises. — Chorus. 
 
 3 Open, happy flowers of spring, 
 
 For the sun is risen. 
 Through the sky sweet voices ring, 
 
 Calling you from prison : 
 Little children, dear, look up. 
 
 Toward His brightness pressing, 
 Lift up every heart and cup 
 
 For the Lord's dear blessing. — Chorus.

 At happy Easter time.

 At happy Easter time.

 "Tfc's glory shines on us today ; 
 Oh, may it shine >n us alway

 That Easter time, that Easter time ; 
 But still the pure white lillies grow. 
 
 At happy Eastei- time. 
 And still each little flower doth say, 
 
 ''Good Christians, bless this holy day! 
 For Christ is risen, the Angels say.

 LITTLE BROWN THRUSH. 
 
 1 There's a merry brown thrush sitting up in a tree ; 
 He is singing to you, he is singing to me, 
 And what does he stiy, little girl, little boy I 
 " Oh ! this world's running over with joy, 
 Don't you hear 'I Don't you see 'I 
 Hush ! look here in my tree ; 
 For I'm as happy as happy can be,^^ 
 For I'm as happy as happy can be." 
 
 2 And the brown thrush keeps singing, "A nest do 
 
 you see, 
 And live eggs laid by me in the big cherry tree? 
 Don't meddle, don't touch, little girl, little boy . 
 Or the world will loose some of its joy. 
 
 Now I'm glad 1 Now I'm free 1 
 
 And I shall always be. 
 If you never will bring any sorrow to me. 
 If you never will bring any sorrow to me. 
 
 3 So the merry brown thrush sings away in his tree, 
 To you and to me, to you and to me ;

 THE IJEH SONG. 
 
 1 Out in the beautiful garden, 
 Say, will you go with me now ? 
 The oriole sings as he gaily swings, 
 High on the elm tree bough 
 Down by the wall of the meadow, 
 Rows of red hollyhocks see ; 
 
 In every one is a golden throne, 
 Throne of the great King Bee. 
 
 Hark I hark I hark ! heai the buzzing sound. 
 
 As if a ])and, froni fairy land. 
 
 Were coming from under the ground. 
 
 Hark ! haik I haik I hear the l)uzz and hum ! 
 
 The fairy queen, in golden sheen, 
 
 Is beating a silver drum. 
 
 2 So in the beautiful garden. 
 Filling the musical air, 
 
 The song in the tree, and the buzzing bee. 
 
 Welcome us ev'rv where. 
 
 Is it the bird in the elm tree? 
 
 Is it the honey bees hum ? 
 
 Or is it a band from fairy land 
 
 Beating a silver drum 1 
 
 Hark ! hark I hark ! ttc.

 WHO TAUGHT THE LITTLE BIRD. 
 
 1 Who taught the bird to build her nest, 
 
 Of wood, and liay, and moss. 
 Who taught her how to weave it best,

 The birds voices fallin<; so soft from the sky.

 Their playtime is ended, for sunmier is o'er, 
 
 They'll slee[) 'neath the snow tlakes, till spring conies

 THE SNAIL.

 1 As waiulerinjjf up and down oiu; day, 
 
 r peep'd in a window just over the way, 
 And putting his needle throu<;h and throu<5h. 
 There sat a cobbler niakin;^ a shoe. 
 
 Hap-a-tap, and tic-a-ta-too, this is the way to make a shoe. 
 
 2 C)'er lasts «»f wood, his hits of leatluM-, 
 
 He strcitches and tits and then sc^ws toj^ether, 
 And putting his wax (muIs thi-ou<,'h and throuj^h, 
 Aril still as h<! stitches his body <^oes too. 
 
 3 With his nice little awl, he niaketh a hole, 
 RijL^ht thi'o' the u[)j)e!' and then thro' the sole, 
 He puts in a pe<^, or he puts in two. 
 
 And ha, ha, ha, ha, as he hammers them thro'. 
 
 4 So the cobbler works thro' the wind and weather, 
 With his hammer and awl and bits of leather, 
 And what in the world would you and I do, 
 
 If there was no cobbler to make us a shoe ? 
 
 5 And then with his hammer he <^iveth a rap. 
 To the shoe so tirmly tixed to his lap. 
 
 His head it goes up, and his head it goes d<jwii, 
 But on his face is never a frown. 
 
 With his rap-a-tap-tap, &c.

 SEE THE SNOW IS FALLING FAST. 
 
 1 Oh, see the snow is falling fast 
 
 It p(>wdeis all the trees ! 
 Its flakes abound, and all around 
 They float upon the breeze. 
 
 2 'Tis snowing fast, and cold the blast, 
 
 But yet I hope 'twill stay ; 
 Oh ! see it blow the falling snow 
 In shadows far away ! 
 
 3 Jack Frost is here, we feel him near, 
 
 He's on his icy sled ; 
 And, covered deep, the flowers sleep 
 Beneath their snowy bed. 
 
 4 Come out and play this winter day, 
 
 Amid'st the falling snow ! 
 Come, young and old, fear not the cold, 
 Nor howling winds that blow. 
 
 OLD WINTER. 
 
 1 Old Winter is a sturdy one. 
 
 And lasting stuff he's made of, 
 His flesh 's firm as iron-stone. 
 There is nothing he's afraid of. 
 
 2 He spreads his coat upon the heath. 
 
 Nor to warm it lingers, 
 He scouts the thought of aching tec th, 
 Or chill)lains on his fingers. 
 
23 
 
 3 Of flowers that bloom or birds that sin^, 
 
 Full little cares or knows he, 
 He hates the fire and hates the spring, 
 And all that's warm and cosy. 
 
 4 But when the fcxes V)ark aloud 
 
 On fro/en lake or river, 
 When round the tii-e the people crowd. 
 And rub their hands and shiver, 
 
 5 When Frost is splittinf? stone and wall. 
 
 And trees come crashing after. 
 That hates he not. he loves it all. 
 Then bursts he out in laughter. 
 
 6 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. 
 
 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, 
 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

 TINY LITTLE SNOW FLAKES.

 Tn the air so high, 
 Are you little angels. 
 
 Floating in the sky 1 
 Ivobed so white and spotless. 
 
 Flying like a dove. 
 Are you little creatures, 
 
 From the world above 1 
 
 2 Whirling on the side walk. 
 
 Dancing in the street, 
 Kissing all the faces. 
 
 Of the children sweet, 
 Loading all the house-tops, 
 
 Powdering all the trees. 
 Cunning little snr w flakes, 
 
 Little busy bees,

 COME, LITTLE LEAVES. 
 
 1 " Come, little leaves," s.aid the wind one day, 
 "Come o'er the meadcnvs with me and play, 
 Put on your dresses of red and gold, 
 
 For summer is gone and the days grow cold." 
 
 2 Soon as the leaves heard the wind's loud call, 
 Down they came fluttering, one and all ; 
 Over the bvown fields they danced and flew. 
 Singing the sweet little songs they knew. 
 
 3 " Cricket, good-bye," we've been friends so long ! 
 Little brook, sing us your farewell song, 
 
 Say you are soi-ry to see us go ; 
 
 Ah ! you will miss us, right well you know ! 
 
 4 " Dear little lambs, in your fleecy fold. 
 Mother will keep you from harm and cold ; 
 Fondly we've watched you in vale and glade, 
 Say, will you dream of our loving shade ?" 
 
 5 Dancing and whirling, the little leaves went, 
 Winter had called them, and they were content ; 
 Soon, fast asleep in their earthy beds. 
 
 The snow like a coverlet over their heads. 
 
 GOOD-BYE TO THE FLOWERS, 
 
 1 Good-bye, daisy, pink, and rose. 
 
 And snow-white lily too ! 
 Every pretty flower that grows, 
 
 Here's a kiss for you ! 
 Good-bye, merry bird and bee, 
 
 And take this tiny song 
 For the one you sung to me, 
 
 All the summer long. 
 
 2 Good-bye mossy little rill, 
 
 That shivers in the cold, 
 Leaves that fall on vale and hill 
 Cover you with gold ! 
 
25 
 
 A sweet <^(K«l-l)y to hiids tluit roam, 
 And rills unci How«^rs and hees? 
 
 But when winter's ^'one, come home 
 As ear'ly as you please.

 Lean your ear this way !

 Whisper what you'll bring to me ; 
 Tell me if you can.

 All the stockings you will find 
 Hanging in a row ; 
 Mine will be the shortest one ; 
 You'll be sure to know.

 Britannia the gem of the ocean 
 
 The home of the brave and the free, 
 The shrine of each patriot's devotion, 
 
 A world offers homage to thee ; 
 Thy mandates make heroes assemble 
 
 When liberty's form stands in view, 
 Thy banners make tyranny tremble, 
 
 When borne by the red white and blue. 
 
 Thy banners make tyranny tremble. 
 When borne by the red, white and blue. 
 
 : When war winged its wide desolation. 
 
 And threatened t>ur land to deform 
 The ark of their freedom's foundation, 
 
 Britannia rode safe through the storm ; 
 With her garland of victory around her 
 
 When proudly she bore her brave crew, 
 With her flag floating proudly before her, 
 
 The boast of the red, white and blue. 
 
 With her flag floating proudly before her, 
 The boast of the red, white and blue.

 2 At Queenston Heights and Lundy's Lane, 
 
 Our biave fatheis side by side, 
 For freedon), homes, and loved ones dear. 
 
 Firmly stood and nobly died ! 
 And those deai- rights which they maintained, 
 
 We swear to yield them never ! 
 Our watch-word ever more shall be 
 
 The maple leaf for ever ! -Chorus. 
 
 3 Our fair Dominion now extends 
 
 From Cape Race to Nootka Sound ; 
 May peace forever be our lot. 
 
 And plenteous store abound ; 
 And may those ties of love be ours 
 
 Which discord cannot sever, 
 ; And flourish green o'er freedom's home, 
 
 The maple leaf for ever ! — Chorus.
