Your birthday my sweet sister, What shall my off'ring be, I've no rich gifts or treasures I can present to thee.
But Oh! my sweetest sister, I raise a fervent prayer, For all thy future welfare While thou may'st sojourn here.
May many happy birthdays Roll o'er thy peaceful head, In good old age may you lay down Your life among the dead.

To a Minister on his Return after a long Absence.
Dear Shepherd you've been wand'ring So long and far away Your sheep become disconsolate, Therefore have gone astray.
