THE STRANGER.

1f1E - ~ lSC6hs
Written by an exile, for his infant daugh
ter Miss-------in Virginia, at !
school examination.
How hard their fate, abroad who roam,
n, search ofthat sweet angel peace,
Which they in vain had sought at home,
Delightful guest of heavenly race.
Behold they throng the Atlantic wave,
To hail Columbia's friendly shore,
They stretch their hands-thev pity crave,
Say;-do 700 not their fate dePlores
Once nurs'd. on pleasures fragrant breast, Il
And wrautin undisturh'd repose,
Their heads the downy pillow press'd,
They only sigh'dfor others woes.
Tbei- words Infused the healing balm,
That sooths the wavworn soul to rest,
They taught his griefs TO feel calm,
And Hope and Joy resum'd his breast.
Now whirpd from fortunes ceaseless wheel,
Thev sry to veil their fate secure,
But vain their strugglesto conceal.
The mental woe-the gushing tear.
Or bv mad factions cruel rage,
Or by their own imprhdence strung,
Alike compassion they engage
And will Columbia's Genius mild,
Avert the pity beaming eye,
And bid them dare again the wild
Tempeseuous sea and frowning sky
Columbia's daughters round isee,
And in their eyes compassion's dew,
They beam competence, even on me,
They seem to say wefeel for you.
Her sons too generous and brave,
Would not insult Wounded minds
They also stretch the hand to save,
The noble hearts always kind.
Permit me then my cause to PLEAD,
Itoo afttle wapderer come.
too.-far,-far, from home have strayd,
Unconscious what may be my doom.
a parent-lives my only guide,
He badc my footsteps hither tend;
Where virtue dwels and decent pride,
And ev'ry stranger finds a friend
