=6. ADDRESS OR READING OF SOME SELECTION FROM ANOTHER PART OF THIS PAMPHLET.= =7. MARCHING FROM THE FIELD.= (TO FOLLOWING TUNE.) WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE. GEORGE P. MORRIS. HENRY RUSSELL. [Illustration: Music notation] 1. Woodman, spare that tree! Touch not a single bough; In youth it shelter'd me, And I'll protect it now; 'Twas my forefather's hand, That placed it near his cot, There, woodman, let it stand, Thy axe shall harm it not! 2. That old, familiar tree, Its glory and renown Are spread o'er land and sea, And would'st thou hew it down? Woodman, forbear thy stroke! |
