ODE,
BY GRENvILLE MELLEN.
CHIEF OF the mighty heart all hail
How art thou waited on
Loud FREEDOM laundering on the gale
nations choral song
On 1t is well to such as THEE,
Our world should bend its iron knee,
To whom its thanks belong:
What noher homage hath il known,
Than when ii bows to worth alone
Oh, who hath seen an hour like thine,
Great PATRIOT of our land
When all the hearts oil all the cline,
Acknowledge thy coma and
Foul were the traitor spirit here,
Would mock thee with an icy tear,
Or with nerveless hand
No, when we greet that bounding soul,
Our own would feel its pulses roll
III.
Were not our Fathers proud Of thee,
When thy bright years were young,
And Love was left for Victory,
When Beauty round thee chung?
And shall the children thankless gaze
Upon the Father of their days,
Whose patriot soul was wrung,
To win, in such bold defence,
So splendid an inheritance
Nv.
oh may our land forget us-ere,
With such remembrance by,
We should SO soulless linger here,
Or so ignobly die!
The meanest heart that GoD has form'd
1t not by such high memories storm'd,
Sees no redemption nigh
1t dies-as basest things have died,
On the black earth, to which it was allied.
V.
There is virtue in thy fame,
The charm of patriot eyes:
Out-glolying each less holy name
In peerless sacrifice.
The home-the hope-lhe prayers---the tears
The ocean sto' m--the toll of years,
A cold worlds injuries;
oh who could such host forget.
Save thy unbroken soul, FAYETTE
vi.
The Roman, when he sought the home
For which his blood was given,
Found still but hard imperial Rome,
In his triumpha haven
The hands and helms that batted on,
Thro' all her stormy Marathon,
From noble Greece were driven
But oh the pride that crowns thy years,
1 he triumph OF nations tears
VII.
This is the monarchy Of soul
Above The power Of kings,
As high as those far lights that roll
Above Earth's DINNER things!
Such godke spirit has no peers
Among the wrecks OF lowher spheres
1t floats on holder wings
Oh whose besides My star shall shine
What splendor now can cope with thine!
VIII.
There is a roar upon the wave,
The thunder OF our Joy;
Der THEE, the ardent, young, and brave,
The glorious patriot boy,
Who sprang upon our iron shore,
To battle his virgin blade in gore
10 conquer and destroy.
Long years have pass'd above thy brow
Thou com'st the hoaly warrior now
TX.
Young hands are clasp'd before thy form,
In innocence and prayer;
And age, that bore with thee The storm,
Comes in his snowy hair;
And tears are wept, and palms are wrung,
And silence palsles the poor tongue
The soul alone is there
Oh! ask not why the tear drop starts
What can contain The tide of hearts
X.
Then welcome our immortal son,
To FREEDoM's heavenly ground.
Fair hands, fright beings, wave thee on,
And shower their roses round!
o what had ancient conqusrors done,
To grasp the triumph thou hast won,
The glory thou hast found
Go forth as great as thou art good;
Thine. is an Empires gratitude
