The Gipsy's Home. A Glee.

Topics: classic

Sung by Messrs. PYNE, NELSON, Miss WITHAM, and Master LONGHURST.--Composed by Mr. ROOKE.     We, who the wide world make our home;     The barren heath our cheerful bed;     Careless o'er mount and moor we roam,     And never tears of sorrow shed.     But merrily, O! Merrily, O!     Through this world of care we go.     Love, that a palace left in tears,     Flew to our houseless feast of mirth:     For here, unfetter'd, beauty cheers,     The heaven alone that's found on earth!     Then merrily, O! Merrily, O!     Through this world of care we go.
