rHE DAWN OI 'FREEDOM.
'?'is lone! the fool-vapours of fatti:n: are flying;
Wshile the bright star of loyalty beams from tin biglr
The (een howls of treason in. whispers are dying, -
And the radiance of morning now breaks on the eye:

The staves who pursu'd the pale forms of defection,
Have once more around liberty's tree,
Aelinowleik'd the shame of a servile subjection,
And are panting with ardour again to be free.

They have heard the dark taunts of the Tyrant reviling,
They laugh'd at his menace, hare broken his chain;
T'Ae form_of Allegiance bas.lool'd on then: smiling,
And dissolv'd the harsh spell of disloyalty's roign

Theythought on their country, they thought on her wezping;
The sigh is yet warm in the patriot's Breast;
-She woke from bee dream, that too long held her sleeping. 3
And gave them her high and important behest.

They tore off the emblems dAgrace fixtd upon her,
Which they plung'd in the river that water'd her plain,
Till.the stream had effac'd the foul spot-of dishonour,
And they came forth as lilies of Gallia again.

They have bail'd the approach of their HENafs descendant,
They have welcom'd the heir of a virtuous 130uxuoN;
They stood forth as free men, they stood independent,
And mingled their tears with the tic sving.Garonne,

They hart wept for their crimes, and reverted in angnisli
TU the scaffold, yet stain'd with the best blood of France;
For the scenes of the future they ardently languish, •
And they start at their guilt as Cory wake from their trance.

They saw their proud nation alone and repining,
And commerce remor'd to a jiappier shore;
They looh'd on their sons, who, each lost hope resigning,
Slept yet on the plain as it reek'd with their gore.

They saw, from afar, a bright met•,or arising., •
It broke through the gloom, and illumin'd the wild;
They marled it the barriers of ►mountains deriding,
Till it burst on their,view in effulgence, and smil'd.

'Tis the light of Allegiance, the bright beam of honour,
Which firstshed her ray on the vallies of Spain ;
Dispell'd the despair which before had undone het,
And led her forth free into loyalty's train.

Ah ! yes, it still reigns in its former dominions,
It yet will command, and the land will obey;
It hug: rode through the air on its fame-adoru'd pinions,
.And wash'd thesemembrance of sorrow away. -

The Crown and the Sceptre, the ornaments royal,
Again, 'mid the darkness of carnage, have shone,
Have triumpli'd impomp o'er the base ;net disloyal„
While the Hero of England stands guard by the Throne.

The spirit of mercy on honour attending,
Proclaims the forgivenes.of faction and guilt;
The fair form of Pity on earth is descending,
AIId Treason weeps over the blood she has spilt

The voice of the Soy'reign still thrilis through the vallies,
The standard Of loyaly floats on the plain ;
Round the Throne of the llooxnoas prosperity rallies,
And the threats of the Despot are utter'tl in vain.

1,11! Phantom of Discord foresees her undoing,
'With the sickness of dread she presages her doom;
in,her, terror, she faints in her ruin,
And the Throne of the Tyrant is hid in the tomb.

The Dcath's-head is plac'd where the crown once was 'beaming,
And the proud' robes of state are exchanied for the shroud ;
Where the'Courtiers once stood, lo! phantoms are screalning,
And moonments rise from the stones of St. Cloud.

Is this, then, the end of thy dark usurpation,
The reward of thy fears, and the guerdon of crime ?
And was it for this thou bast spread devastation
O'er the face of the Grand, and destroy'd the Sublime ?

Say, was it for this thou bast waled in the morning,
And toil'd as the sun of the evening went dowa,
Till the regal tiara, thy base brow adorning,
Cans'd the slaves of dishonour to start at thy frown?

As the shades of a vision are view',J evanescent
Awhile to the sight, and then instantly flown;
So we,' while Surveying the past and the present,
Perceive that the forms which alarin'd us are gone. ,
