Rosalie The Prairie Flower, George Frederick Root

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse 1]
On the distant prairie,
Where the heather wild In its quiet beauty lived and smiled,
Stand a little cottage,
And a greeping vine
Loves around its porch to twine;
In the peaceful dwelling was a lovely child,
With her blue eyes beaming soft and mild,
And the wavy ringlets of her flaxon hair,
Floating in the summer air.

[Chorus, verse 1]
Fair as a lily, joyous and free,
Light of that prairie home was she.
Everyone who knew her, felt the gently power of Rosalie the prairie flower.

[Verse 2]
On that distant prairie,
When the days were …

Home Sweet Home, Henry R. Bishop

Historic Sheet Music Collection

‘mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble there’s no place like home!
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which seek through the world, is ne’er met with elsewhere:
Home! Home! Sweet, sweet, Home!
There’s no place like Home!
There’s no place like Home!

An exile from Home, splendor dazzles in vain,
Oh! Give me my lowly thatch’d cottage again!
The birds singing gaily that came at my call,
Give me them with the peace of mind, dearer than all:
Home! Home! Sweet, sweet Home!
There’s no place like Home!
There’s …

Kathleen Mavourneen, Francis Weiland, F. Nicholls Crouch

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse 1]

Kathleen Mavourneen! the grey dawn is breaking,
The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill,
The lark from her light wing the bright dew is shaking,
Kathleen Mavourneen! what slumb'ring still.

[Verse 2]

Oh! hast thou forgotten how soon we must sever
Oh! hast thou forgotten, this day we must part,
It may be for years, and it may be for ever
Oh! why art thou silent, thou voice of my heart.
It may be for years and it may be for ever,
Then why art thou silent, Kathleen Mavourneen,

[Verse 3]

Kathleen Mavourneen! Awake from …

Kissing Thro' The Bars, Joseph Wood Jr., William F. Small

Historic Sheet Music Collection

‘Twas in a grove I met my love,
One soft and balmy night;
I own’d my flame, she did the same,
And trembled with delight;
When at her gate we parted late,
I bless’d my lucky stars,
And stole a kiss to seal our bliss,
Between the wicket bars.

I went again but sought in vain,
The grove my love to find;
I fear’d the worst and yet I durst
Not think she was unkind;
To solve my fate I sought the gate,
And there Oh! Happy stars,
I found and press’d her to my breast,
And kiss’d her thro’ …

Can The Absent Be Forgotten?, J. Waters

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Can the absent be forgotten?
Can their mem'ries ever die?
Were they loved to be remembered,
Like a shadow on the sky?
Can the early ties that bound us
Like morning dreams depart
Forbid it heaven for then would cease,
All truthfulness of heart.

Can the absent be forgotten?
Though their silence we regret?
No Le the springs on this fair earth
By which we can regret?
There is something in the mem'ry
Of those we've loved and lost
Upholds love's bark o'er time's vast sea,
However tempest tost.

Can the absent be forgotten?
Can the lip that we have …

Sailing On The Summer Sea, J. W. Cherry

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Oh! how sweet it is to glide,
Sailing on the summer tide;
Like a bird upon the wind,
Leaving ev're care behind;
List'ning to the rippling sound,
As the glad waves dance and bound;
Blending with the distant roar
Of the waves that lash the shore.
From morn till night I'd wander free,
Sailing on the summer sea;
From morn till night I'd wander free,
Sailing on the summer sea!
Sailing on the summer sea!

The land has not a sound for me,
Like the music of the sea,
Singing out its own sweet song,
To the breezes all day …

Pretty Fay, Why Away, J. W. Cherry

Historic Sheet Music Collection

Pretty Fay, why away
Where art thou going?
Stay with me,
much from thee I would be knowing;
Spirit fair, child of air,
Where is thy dwelling
Tell to me if it be Earth's joy excelling;
When the day Dies away,
'Mid all the splendour
Clouds of gold can unfold,
Or twilight render;
Doest thou come From thy home
'Mid fairy flowers, On the wing,
Here to sing with magic powers!
Pretty Fay, why away
Where art thou going?
Stay with me, much from thee I would be knowing;
Spirit fair, child of air, Where is thy dwelling
Tell to …

Ossian's Serenade, Jenny Lines

Historic Sheet Music Collection

[Verse 1]
Oh! come with me in my little canoe,
Where the sea is calm and the sky is blue,
Oh! come with me for I long to go,
To those isles where the mango apples grow;
Oh! come with me and be my love,
For thee the jungles depth I’ll rove,
I’ll gather the honey comb bright as gold,
And chase the elk to its secret hole.
I’ll chase the antelope over the plain,
The tiger’s cub I’ll bind with a chain,
And the wild gazelle with it’s silvery feet,
I’ll give thee for a playmate sweet.

Letter to a friend, Hickory Hill Wis, 1856.

Dear Bradley, I wrote you a long letter a day or two ago, with a supplement; but it was till too short; I shall endeavor to finish it now You remember I mentioned your belief in Jesus Christ as our Saviour. Now what should follow from so great a belief, and what does it signify? Just suppose Bradley, that you are a traveler; You have long been wandering here and there in rough thorny places homeless and friendless; your father is dead, and your mother is dead; you have …
