"Merry Minstrels"
|
|
|
|
We are merry minstrels soft music we enjoy,
For music does hatred and malice destroy. |
|
|
|
|
|
We sing so sweetly, we drive away care,
And with our soft harmony banish despair.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The, hail, sweet music, hail, hail! heavenly sound,
No pleasure like music on earth can be found. |
