Her sweet old melody.

And too my heart is singing

In happy ecstasy.

BEAUTIFUL ROSE

Beautiful rose

Your crimson velvet tells me

The loveliest message.

SUN ON THE RIVER

O river, flowing on,

In flashing sunlight roll,

And join the ocean lawn

Up to the island shoal.

O great and mighty stream,

With flaming breast and bow,

Your ferries glide and gleam

Through sparkling glare and glow.

O sun, on rolling wave

Shine far out to the sea,

And rounded billows pave,

Like quickened silver flee.
