WRITTEN UPON ARRIVING AT CANADA,
FORTH AMERICA, FROM ENGLAND.

Tho' rude may blow the chilling blast,
The' Winter should for ever last,
Build here her icy throne;
Tho new those billows roughly sleep,
That on thy shores would proudly weep,
To waft fair Commerce on:
Yet, I behold thee—fiatt'ring fair,
To me a mild, aye, pleasant air,
And hail thee--tho' uncouth ;
Eut still I think on Albion's Isle,
itemember scenes and trace the smile,
That dawn'd on earlier youth.
I've bade thee now, lov'd shores, adieu,
I've left the friend I once thought tt ue,
And others less sincere;
And then I thought on Ellen's charms,
Dwelt on the theme with fond alarms,
Hope cherish'd but w th fear.
No more I'll view the time I've lost,
Each scene in life I find was cros't,
And happiness delusion ;
Yet Summer's breeze—the sweetest gale
May change—and Winter's storms assail,
When least is dreanit th'intrusion.
Here ! when I see the forest brave
The furietis blast, and gently wave
Her leafy honours round ;

rho' Eurus bend the mountains pride,
His angry powers arc here defied,
And check'd his raging sound.
Here ! when I ehace the subtile Bear,
Raging with hunger and despair,
For many a dreary mile ;
Or, on thy lakes, as infant seas,
My bark oft sails in wanton ease,
Still Hope affords a smile ! C. A.
