CHANGES.

From scene to scene the Minstrel ranged,
His views, but not his duties, changed,
Amidst duh and hankless crowd,
Too cold to fcel,-to learn, too proud;
The Muse alone dispelled the gloom
That darlsened DER youths buried bloom.
Yet Hope the veil Ger sorrow threw,
And skeiched the future to his view
And friends were there, whose social smile
Dispelled the wanderers cares the while
And rescued from the zealot's strife
One green spot ON the map Of life.
Years rolled away,-he bore his share
In scenes bliss, and hours of care;
And left the city's vapid train,
For rural LIFE and peace, again;
Foreswore the truant wish to roam
And met the strangers welcome home
Yet slowly sped his days along
Forsol for years the pride of song
The bigot blamed his want of zeal;
He fell not as enthusiasts feel;
Nor named the hour when faith prevailed
As passion wept, or reason failed
Nor damned in pride of cleric place.
One erring child of human race.
And there one, whose master-minl
Each feeling OF his heart refined
When flashed his eye, twas sweet to trace
The eagle-dating Of his race
And he who wakes the Minstrel she'll
His virtues knew, and loved them well;
A mind with classic lore embued,
4 heart that priced his country's good;
The first 10 lase the patriot brand
When rose the valiant of the land:
Fair Freedom traced his name on History's page.
Her bravest knight in youth,-her steadest friend il
age.
Years rolled away,-the Minstrel found
The duIlness of his natal ground;
Left woodland lake, and noory glen,
For active busy life again.
How shall he sketch the passing scene,
In brumal hue, or vernal green3
Even now he thinks prospects changed,
On by-past times. and friends estranged
The thrill of youth is past and gone,
His feelings take sterner tone,
Not his the flash of tancy's play
That charmed LIES boyish years away;
Yet Menory's lunar lamp hath cast
sivery radiance Ger the past,
And given again the scenes to view [new
