On Eneisnd's shore saw a ponsiyo band,
With sail. uniurlcd foe eatth's rcn,otest strand,
Like children parting from mother, shed
Tears for The hone ,io, could yield them bread,
Gtisf matk'd each face rcccding from the view,
'Twos grief TO nature honoIably true.
Aud long, poor wanderers o'cr IN celin,ic deep,
The song that name, but home shall bid you wcopi

IN that at, as world, aud miss the stars 20 love-
Regret the lax that sladdeus Eeglorps morn,
And, giving Englaud's names to distant scenes.

But cloud not yet long, industrious train,
For has the heart no Interest, yet as bland
As that which binds us TO our native land?

How large space of lcc,ing life is lost:

Nor there whilst all that's seen bids Fancy swell;

But choral hymns shall wake enclantuont round.
And organs blow their tompcsts of sweet sound.
Meanwhile, Arts triumphant reach their goal,
How bles the years of pastoral life shall roll?

The hover of love whore first his bosom burned,
And smiling passion saw its smile returned.

The ocean holds, and rules the whirlwind's sweep,
Assuagc its wrath, and guide you tho deep!
