Under tlic Zee.
Under the ce the water run?;
Under the ice our spirits lie ;
The genial glow of the summer sun
Shall loosen their fetters by and by.
Moan and groan in thy prison cold,
River of life river of love ;
The wiuter is growing worn and old,
The frost is leaving the melting mould,
And the sun shines bright above.
Under the ice, under the snow,
Our lives are bound in a crystal ring :
By and by will the South winds blow,
And the roses bloom on the banks o:' spring.
Moan and groan in thy fellers strong,
River of live river ol love :
The nights grow short, the days grow long,
Weaker and weaker the b-nds of wrong,
And the sun shines bright above.
Under the ice our souls a;c h'.d ;
Under the ice our good deeds prow ;
Men but credit the wrong wo did,
Never the motives that lay be'ow,
.Moan and groan in thy. prison cold,
River of l':fe--iiver of hive :
The winter t.f life is g.-owing o'J,
The 1 rost is leaving the mcllii:g mould,
Aud the sun shines warm above.
Under tho ice we hide our wrongs
Under the ice that Ins chilled us through !
Oh ! that the friends who have known us long
Dare to doubt that we are good aud true.
Moan and groan in thy prison cold,
River of live river of love ;
Winter is growing wu iii aud old,
Roses stir in the melting mould:
We shall be known above.
