URIC INAL POSTR 1.
NAPOLICON AT 9T. HELENA. •

Oh When shall the star of my freedom arise.
And Empire's waned glories tesisit my brow•!
I mateh, lint in vain, let a light in the Wes;
AB's dark as my spirit, and cold as hope now.
Time was that k stood. and the nations were shaking,
And Earth felt my tread as the tread of her King ;
I looted, at my glance crowns and sreptres fell breaking:
I spoke. and nest throces fur new monarchs would spring.
Time is. that I Isaguish in ponds and in woe,
No wife left to tighten their weight %Mist smile,
No son on my bosom permitted to grow,
But storms and rude spirits to lash and revile.
*et wed is the hand that now u iihers alone,
And floes In this b,•'om * father's fond heart ;
A world they might take, as the e,onqueror's owe; 111
But son, bride, and sire, none but Ileaien should part.
