the music or the !olk.GOD gave the Folk inspired utteranceHe heard, and deemed them good:He touched their tongues with fire of eloquence,And made their musics mood.In calm or storm, whateer that mood may be,They sing the soul of ancient prophecy.From time eterne unto these living hoursThey count their heritage;And fresh as wood-bells wet with April showersIt wears its weight of age.The stream of nature-song runs quick the-dayAs it ran in the world of years away.Strong singers, from your Suiligh-sleep arise,For fast the shadows flit:Tis yoUrs to guard the godly-given prize,To feed and foster itThat what hath life the-day may living beTill Eir&s joy is Heavens ecstasy!Contents.PAGEList of Office-BearersDedication Poem SEOSAMH MACCATRMHAOIL 2Editors PrefaceAirs: Pulling Sloes under the foliage ofthe trees p. \\T. .J ycOne Evening Fair P.
