THE MINSTRELS.
When cares perplex and tire, When hearts a.re sad, Do they not then dcs-ire Someone to sing to them, And, singing, bring to them Joy once they had '/ When glo.veth bright Love's fin When hearts are gay, Have they not this desire — Smg some old tune to us, Grief corneth soon to us, Perchance to-day? We come with 'script and lyre, Deem us not bold, .This nil that we desire. Gay, .et us sing to you ; Sad, let us bring to you y Joy, as of old. -^W. Francis Chambers^ Wellington, April, 1903.
