Vhila the mantle of Beauty falls lovely and bright O'er all thy green bosom, soft swelling in sight. Sow calmly thy mountains look down on the sea, hon»e of the gifted, the generous, and free Where the pure breath of heaven wafts health to thy shore, And the spirit that loves thee could dwell evermore Where still o'er the stream of thy sorrow and wrong, *he heart of thy minstrel beats fearless and strong, **• he turns to thy star, rising bright o'er the brine, ^»d links every hope of his bosom to thine. land 'midst the beauties that gladden the heart, man taught the tears of thy children to start the torch that illumines the path of the free ~l*8od bright o'er the world, but looked dimly on e 7*° Liberty's spirit awakes from her sleep, moves in her might o'er the land and the ae p S-»d piercing the shadows of far distant years, ^ooka down on thy shores like an angel in tear Oh, pure be her light as the blush of the Mom, J< the Whings of Hope from thy Aliens are borne A-4 light b. her footsteps on mountain and glen, calmly she smiles on the dwellings of men Jhen the bard, and the patriot, whose spirits of fire Burn on through the clouds of detraction and ire, blend the bright flame of their love o er thy path, And light thee toglory from darkness and wrath.
