Words to tunes, by C. F. Sharpe

Lullaby for a friend's baby (Tune: Brahms's "Lullaby")


"Little Daisy, my darling, sleep soft on your pillow

With a smile on your face, not a tear in your eye.

And when dawn tips the sky, I shall be by your side.

And when dawn tips the sky, I shall be by your side."

Pilgrimage (Tune: Schubert's "Trout")


"I hear the brooklet gushing, from its rocky fountain near

And down the valley rushing, so fresh and wondrous clear.

I know not what came o'er me, or who the counsel gave,

But I must hasten onwards, all with my pilgrim's stave."
