THE SAILOR'S PETITION.

Ah ! why should the sailor, return'd from afar,
Facap'd from the dangers of tempests and war,
See the demon of poverty frown from afar,
And moisten his morsel with many a tear !
Survey the poor shed where his little ones lie,
And mark, for a moment, that heart-tending sigh:
'Tis the mother's ! who mourns for her infants, .so dear,
And moistens their morsel with many a tear !
But who can the father's sensations define?
Ile feels all their sorrows, yet scorns to repine ;
But when the bright beams of the day disappear,
His pillow is moisten'd with many a tear!
Oh! do not, my Country ! thus leave hint forlorn,
Who for thee, in all climates, has misery borne ;
Fl;ce hope in the wan, and Despair in the rear,
Aud tte'str let his moral be moist with a war !
