pie:
GENERAL la FAYETTE,

Country:
Be calm, We winds; yc clouds, thou sky,
Each in your sphere, bear gentle sway;
Ocean forge, thy mountains high,
Aud gently let tiny pillows play;
For 10. ye winds, thou ocean lo.
Committed TO your fond embrace,
Great La Edyette-the tyrant's Zoe,
The champion of the human race.
Bu, If il be the high behest
OF him who holds you in his hand,
That ocean rear its foomy crest,
And wh'tlwinds cast him on the strand
o! do il gently; spare, o. spare
His aged limbs from rock and oillow;
Some coral gro,to seek, and there
Lay him OH Sea-Nyinph's softest pillow.
Fathers and mothers, sous and daughters,
Each with :, laurel wreath and flowers,
Watch an the shore, and from the waters,
Lead freedoms champion to thy bowers:
For 20. he comes, old nian, to you
brother in the field OF glory;
Once more those scenes of youth to view,
Whence freedom dates its birth and story.
With grateful hearts beneath the tree,
With cordial hands and hearts most free,
Lead La Fayette to banquet there
Where oft In youth he met the foe;
Where freedoms cause was first descanted;
Where first the world was taught to know,
That freedoms seed was found and ~ nted.
Arise. Columbia's sons, and lay
Each portal wide, each bosom bare;
Give all the warm affections play,
That La FayeHe may banquet there:
Where each lone exile from the shore,
OF thrones, and Chains, and prospects dreary,
Finds friends and home, &c weep no more,
But bask in steedoin's sunshine CHEEKY.
Let all yoar gpaneled banners waive;
heir eagles, stars and stripes display,
Oei him the great, the patriot brave,
Who fought Tor them in bloody fray!
From north TO SOUTH tine news proclaim,
From east To wrst, from shore To shore.
