SONGSTER. 7
Hurrah for the bonnets of blue,
Hurrah for the lionnets of blue,
Its guid to support Caledonia's cause,
And bide by the bonnets of blue.
Here's a health to them that's awa,
Here's a health to the in that's awa,
Here's a ho^alLh to Charlie, the chief o' the clan.
Although that his band l>e sma' ;
Here's freedom to him that would read,
Here's freedom to him that would write,
Tliere is nime ever feared that the truth should be heard,
But they whom the truth would indite.
Hurrah for the bonnets of blue,
Hurrah for the bonnets of blue.
Its guid to be wise, to be honest and true,
And bide by tbe bonnets of blue.
jTIiic JTIinnjitc Gun al Sea.
Let him who sighs in sadness, hear,
Rejoice and know a friend is near:
VVhat heavenly sounds are those I hear.
What being conycs the gloom to cheer ]
When in the storm on Albion's coast.
The night-watch guards his weary post,
From thoughts of tlijnger free;
He marks some vessel's duskv form,
And hears, amid the howling storm,
The minute gun at sea.
Swift on the shore a hardy few,
The life-boat manned with a gallant, gallant crew,
And dare the dangeroiis wave ;
Through the wild surf they cleave their way,
Lost in the foam, nor know dismay.
For they go the crew to save;
