Part 9 — SCENES THAT ARE BRIGHTEST.

POPULAR SONG FROM

MARITANA.

COMPOSED BY W. V. WALLACE.

PRESENTED BY J. G. OSBOURN, NO. 112 SOUTH THIRD STREET, PHILAD’A.

Scenes that are brightest

May charm awhile;

Hearts which are lightest,

And eyes that smile;

Yet

o’er them, above us,

Tho’ nature beam,

With none to love us,

How sad They seem,

With none to love us,

How sad they seem.

Second Verse.

Words cannot scatter

The thoughts we fear;

For though they flatter,

They mock the ear.

Hopes will still deceive us

With tearful cost,

||:And when they leave us

The heart is lost!:||
