THE SCHOOL TEACHER'S SONG.
Reading edition
A PARODY ON THE VINE DRESSER'S SONG.
Come away girls, to labor, Brightly glows the young day; Come away, every young neighbor, To the school-room away.
The clear echo ringing, Is heard on the lawn, While the school-girl is singing Her joys in the morn.
In the bright glancing school-room, From tree and from stream, O'er each rose-tinted cheek-bloom, How plays the Sun's beam. Come away, &c.
Come, each happy young maiden, Your lesson prepare, With heads freely laden With Learning's sweet fare. Come away, &c
Then the blithe ones come bounding, Aroused by the call, And their voices resounding Good lessons from all. Come away, &c.
Hark! the scholars now wending, The street-side along, Are cheerily blending Their shouts and their song. Come away, &c.
