THE LITTLE BOY FOUND

The little boy lost in the lonely fen, Led by the wand'ring light, Began to cry, but God ever nigh, Appeard like his father in white.

He kissed the child by the hand led And to his mother brought, Who in sorrow pale, thro' the lonely dale Her little boy weeping sought.

& ОБРЕТЕННЫЙ СЫН

Заплакал мальчик в темноте, Среди болот блуждая И тут пред ним отцом родным Предстал Господь, сияя!

И за руку ребенка взял, И к матери отвел, Что ночь брела, дитя звала, Слезами полня дол.

LAUGHING SONG

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy And the dimpling stream runs laughing by, When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.

When the meadows laugh with lively green And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene, When Mary and Susan and Emily, With their sweet round mouths sing Ha, Ha, He.

When the painted birds laugh in the shade Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread Come live be merry and join with me, To sing the sweet chorus of Ha, Ha, He.

& ВЕСЕЛАЯ ПЕСНЯ

Когда, заливаясь, смеется ручей И полон воздух веселых речей, Смеется роща, смеемся мы, И эхом смеющимся вторят холмы,

Смеются луга зеленой травой, Смеется кузнечик, укрытый листвой, И девушки, сладкие губы раскрыв, Выводят со смехом веселый мотив,

И птицы згенят, оглашая дол, И в тени накрыт с угощеньем стол А ну-ка с нами веселья испей И хохотом, хохотом радость излей!

A CRADLE SONG

Sweet dreams form a shade, O'er my lovely infants head. Sweet dreams of pleasant streams, By happy silent moony beams

Sweet sleep with soft down, Weave thy brows an infant crown. Sweet sleep Angel mild, Hover o'er my happy child.

Sweet smiles in the night, Hover over my delight. Sweet smiles Mothers smiles All the livelong night beguiles.

Sweet moans, dovelike sighs, Chase not slumber from thy eyes, Sweet moans, sweeter smiles, All the dovelike moans beguiles.
