GLEE, for 4 Voices.-The melody by Dr. CLARKE
WHITFIELD.

(Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass.)

BIRD of the wilderness, blithesome and cumberless,
Sweet be thy matin o'er moorland and lea!
Emblem of happiness, blest is thy dwelling-place,
Oh! to abide in the desert with thee.

Wild is thy lay and loud, far in the downy cloud;
Love gives it energy, Love gave it birth;
Where on thy dewy wing, where art thou journeying?
Thy lay is in heaven, thy love is on earth.

[green,

O'er fell and fountain sheen, o'er moor and mountain
O'er the red streamer that heralds the day,
Over the cloudlet dim, over the rainbow's rim,
Musical cherubim, hie thee away!

Then when the gloaming comes, love in the heather Sweet will thy welcome and bed of love be; [blooms, Bird of the wilderness, blest is thy dwelling-place,

Oh! to abide in the desert with thee.

BLESS our gardens, Flora gay,

With all thy choicest blooms;

(Alto, 2 Tenors, and 2 Basses.)

BLESSED be the home where love makes his dwelling,
Pleasure and peace his footsteps invite;

Oh with what joy each bosom is swelling,
When two in one tie thus fondly unite.
Friendship's offering now we bring to thee,
We hail this happy hour;

Calm and sunny may life's pathway be,

And strewn with many a flower.

Blessed be the home where love makes his dwelling,

Pleasure and peace crown this happy hour.-Tra, la, la !

BLOW, gentle gales, and on your wing
Our long-expected succours bring.
Look, look again!

"Tis all in vain.

Lo! behold a pennant waving-
"Tis the sea-bird's pinions laving.
Hark! a signal fills the air-
"Tis the beetling rock resounding,

"Tis the hollow wave rebounding,

Wild as our hope, and deep as our despair. From "The Slave." (D'Almaine.)

(Soprano, Alto, and Tenor.)

BLOW, shepherds, blow your pipes,
With gladsome glee resounding;
See, lo! where the fair Eliza comes,
With love and heavenly grace abounding;

Go nymphs, run apace, and meet her,

With flowers and garlands gay, goodly greet her.
All hail, Eliza fair, the country's goddess!

Long mayst thou live, the shepherd's queen and mistress. (Novello.)

GLEE, for 3 Voices.-ROBERT COOKE.

(Alto, Tenor, and Bass.)

BORNE on the wings of lofty fame,

To Albion's favoured island came

The sceptred kings, whose glorious arms
Appeased Europa's wild alarms;

Whose deeds, resplendent with renown,
Restored each exiled monarch's crown:
They bade the raging battle cease,

And the hostile nations peace.

Far as the circling sun their virtues shine,
