The Maid of Saxony: Or, Who's the Traitor?
Ho! Hans!--Why, Hans!
Rejoice! Rejoice! We're Safe and Sound
The Life For Me is a Soldier's Life
Confusion! Again Rejected!
When I behold that Lowering Brow
'Tis a Soldier's Rigid Duty
The Spring-Time of Love is Both Happy and Gay
From My Fate There's No Retreating
Lads and Lasses Trip Away
All Hail the King!
Home
Sky, Stream, Moorland, and Mountain
Dared These Lips My Sad Story Impart
Fiery Mars, Thy Votary Hear
Ah! Love is not a Garden-Flower
The King, The Princes of the Court
Victoria! Victoria!
This Gloomy Cell is my Abode at Last
Hark! 'Tis the Deep-Toned Midnight Bell
Once, Mild and Gentle was my Heart
The Gentle Bird on Yonder Spray
That Law's the Perfection of Reason
With Mercy Let Justice
What Outrage More?--At Whose Command
The Javelin From an Unseen Hand
Rejoice! Our Loyal Hearts We Bring
Our Hearts are Bounding with Delight

The Maid of Saxony
Memoir of George P. Morris.
By Horace Binney Wallace.
Bless thou thy lot; thy simple strains have led
The high-born muse to be the poor man's guest,
And wafted on the wings of song, have sped
Their way to many a rude, unlettered breast.
-- Beranger.
Morris has hung the most beautiful thoughts in the world upon hinges
of [illegible]; and his songs are destined to roll over bright lips
enough to form a [sonnet? illegible]. His sentiments are simple,
honest, truthful, and familiar; his language is pure and eminently
musical, and he is prodigally full of the poetry of every-day
living.
-- Willis.
