• Do They Know It?

Words by: Mrs Charles Stuart

Do they know it, the sweet young violets,
Blooming bright in the winds of Spring,
Do they know that they soothe and bless us,
And joy to our eyes and spirits bring?
Do they know it
Do they know it
Do they know it?

Does the lark, from the corn upspringing,
Scatt'ring songs like drops of dew,
Know how sweet, on the soul of sorrow,
Fall those wild notes tender and true?
Does he know it
Does he know it
Does he know it?

Dost thou know that the heartsick wand'rer,
Sad with the grief that long oppress'd him
Seeing thee, dreamt a pitying spirit
Stood by his side and smiled and blest him, and blest him?
Dost thou know it
Dost thou know it
Dost thou know it?

MUSICAL REVIEW. "Do They Know lt?" Song. Lindsay Sloper. A pleasing melody, not of much depth, however, with a very good accompaniment. (The New York herald, Monday, 2 October 1871)
