SONG TO A SCOTCH AIR by REGINALD HEBER

First Line: I LOVE THE HARP WITH SILVER SOUND
Last Line: WHO WAK'ST THE NORTHERN LAY SO WELL.
Subject(s): BUGLES; HARPS; MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS; LYRES;
I LOVE the harp with silver sound,
That rings the festal hall around;
But sweetest of all
The strains which fall,
When twilight mirth with song is crown'd.

I love the bugle's warbling swell,
When echo answers from her cell;
But sweeter to me,
When I list to @3thee@1,
Who wak'st the northern lay so well.
