The Arkansas advocate., 1836-12-23


 When the voice of the tempest
 At midnight Is stfl
 And the spirit of solitude
 Sits the hill,
 There IS beauty. But where IS the beauty to see Like the broad beaning brow Of nltoH that's free?
 h the breath of the morning,
 When natures awake,
 And calls up the chorus
 In meadow and brake;
 In the voice of the echo
 Unbound i'll the woods
 In the warbling ofstreams
 And the fCaming of floods, l aeFe IS beauty. But where IS the beauty to see, Like the thrice hallo~ed sight of nation that's frel
 When the striving of surges
 Is mud on the main
 Like the charge of column
 Of pIames on the plain;
 When the thunder is up
 From bis cloud-eraded sleep,
 And the tempest Is treading
 The path of the deep, There Is beauty. But where Is the beauty to see. Like the snn-bfilliant brow of nation when free!
