They cluster round thee in life's glowing
prime,
Their hearts unfrosted By the SHOWS Of

AS the young ssplings Of the forest bend,
Where the broad oaks their elder boughs
extend;
And when the scar leaves flutter 10 the
blast
Round the sage trunk, luxuriant honors
cast,
And as life's sunset hues shall fall
Calm DER the landscape. then in soo.h.
Thou shalt this glowing hour recall -
The great. ,he slevating truth.
That thou. to nations YET unborn,
A priceless heritage shall leave;-
That genius, weeping Ger thy urn,
The wreath ofgratitude shall weave
Shall light the darkest shades Of even,
And antedate the dawn Of Heaven
