No. 2694. "THE BELLE OF NINDIRI." LAMAR
Adieu ye Belles of colder climes,
With all your Snowy whiteness;
Your beauty is a Northern-light,
That chills amidst its brightness;
But welcome to the gay Brunett, ·with· soul of fire and eye of jet, Light dancing to the castinet-
The Belle of Nindiri.-
How sweet to hear at Summer eve, Her song among the Mangoes, And see her glance like fire-flies Along the gay fandangoes.- Her form is light- her spirit bright, To all a sunbeam of delight, A Rose by day, and Star by night- The Belle of Nindiri.- 0, lend to me Sweet Nightingale Your music by the fountains; And lend to me your cadences, 0, rivers of the mountains. I fain in song would eter rn] ize, A brighter light than Hellen's eyes A jewel drop'd us from the skies-
The Belle of Nindiri.-
Behold the rosey dawn of day,
Whose light the lark is hailing;
And mark the universal smile Of joy, o'er all prevailing.-
