[Music: The Dancer’s Song.



   Moderato.


On our dress of spotless white We are
wreathing garlands bright; And will sing, kiss, sip, With
laughing, ruddy lip, Far away into the night.


Days of gladness soon take flight; Love’s sweet
nectar do not slight Let us sing, kiss, sip, And light-
hearted gaily trip, While our vows we once more plight.]

 [See page 38].                                 Plate XIII.


[Music: Funeral Chant.



   Lento.


Thro’ earth-life our footsteps lead; Guide us
into peace eternal; Till from all desire
we’re freed, And perceive Thy Light supernal.


Speed thee now to realm of bliss; Cast from
thee all thought of strife; Tho each eye thy face
will miss; And we mourn thee all our life!]
