Lays Of Lowly Jlife, By Ruth Wills. Lond...
Welcoming in the morning . With a lark-like song ,
Light and happy-hearted All the glad day long . [ Foolish Anne of Hever

Soug Of ht her for maiden courtl -bower lendors , Sighed for pleasure y sp ' s dower , .
Woe for Anne of Hever , Stoop . From s im - his perious throne Henry of pride ,
Woos her for his bride . "Vain , voluptuous despot , Foul Monarch and fickle thoug -hearted h he be ,
Prince of perfidy . , All To too his read words y yields of guile she
; See Oh , he that smiles treacherous upon her smile , ! She Lai hath d her sold freedom her beaut down y , ,
For a _baiible splendor , For a gew-gaw crown . Music on the river
Sound of harp and , horn Pomp 'Tis of the gay bridal procession morn , ,
_JBarge with floating streamer ; Oh Gail the y glides t along litter , pagean
Oh the shouting g throng , ! Noblehapless lad

Could Idol ' st of thou the crowd from the ; future Lift the shrouding veil
How thy joy would darken , ! How thy cheek grow pale !
For thy heart ' s devotion Thou And wilt thy meet plighted with faith anguish , .
