( ’.*-Ciiouc-poa-lau'r i_ the Indian r.^.io for T'ay :•;£. of jt. T.ouis)
They say the world is rail of beauty,
If the heart is only full o|2 love ;
That happiness dwells in the rivulet,
And in the leafy boughs above ’
But if you ask me 7,/here the fairest .-jid sweetest dream of bliss to woo
Aii, friend, in accents soft and tender ^ aint echo cries; "a - cnouc -pou - lou."
i:o strife to stir the heart to hatred,
:;o clamor sfierce to cuaae your dreams •
Tnere’s notning but repose and calmness,
That to the mind celestial seems.
xes, if you’re tempest-tossed and v.eary,
Ana fain would find a haven true,
Ah, friend, delay not any longer,
But cone to fair "A - chouc - pou - lou."
