SWEET SHOWERS OF BLOSSOM.
Air—SPANISH.
Sweet showers of blossom
Slowly descending
Sink on earth's bosom,
With sweet flowers blending.
Warm gales o'er the meadows
Waft the rivulets' voices;
In the early leaves' shadows
The shrill bird rejoices.
Slowly descending
Sink on earth's bosom,
With sweet flowers blending.
Warm gales o'er the meadows
Waft the rivulets' voices;
In the early leaves' shadows
The shrill bird rejoices.
Oh think mid the bliss of the sunny spring weather,
How the wintry hours smiled when we pass'd them together!
