POETRY. SUMMER HEARTS WILL MERRY BE.
When the sunbeams smile their brightest, And our hearts are true and free, Sorrow's froAvns are then the lightest, Let them frown ! for what care we* Birds arc singing, blithe and jolly, Flowers are smiling o'er the lea ; Only fools meet melancholy, Summer hearts will merry be. 0 ! Summer days of gladness, When laughing hearts are young ; No wailing dirao of. sudne&s Should evee then be sung. For sunbeams smile their fairest, And flowers bloom o'er the lea, And Love sings songs the rarest— Young hearts will merry be. Whon the wintry clouds of sorrow With old care come round our way, We will bid the n come to-morrow, And we'll laugh with joy to-day. For young hearts arc cvor jolly, And true hearts arc ever free ; Only fools meet melancholy, Summer hearts will merry be. O! Summer days of brauty; When laughing hearts are young Then sonps of love ; n I duty Should evermore be sung. The world is full of gladnebs, And hearts are truo and free, So bid farewell to sadness, Young heaits must merry be. W. R. Wills*
