While Histofys Muse the memorial was keeping
vi all that the dark hand Of destiny weaves.
Beside her the Genius of Erin stood weeping
. For hers was the story that biotted the leaves
But OH how the tear in her eyelids grew bright,
When after whole pages of sorrow and shame,
She saw History write
With pencil of light,
iNat illim'd all the volume, her Wcuinetons name!
"i,ai star Of my lse," said the Spirit all sparkling
With beams, such as break from her w dewy skies
nrouSh ages Of SORROW, deserted and darklfns
I've watch'd for some glory like thine TO arise.
For though Heroes I've NUMBERED unbiest their lot
AND unlaliowd they sleep in the cross-ways Fame;
But oh. there is not
One dishonourIg blot
On the wreath that encirces my Ipein gion's name!
"And still the last crown ofthy tolls is remaining
The grandest, the pures cen thou hast yet known:
Aho proud was thy task, other nations Enchanting,
Far prouder to heal the deep iUo.ylds of THY OWN
Al the foot OF that throne for whose thou HAT stood
Go,Pleadfor the land that first Graded TN fans--
And bright DER the food
Of her tears and her blood,
Leg the rainbow of Hope be HER WEII1seroyE ,an1ec,
