Farewell to the Land, where the gloom OF my
Glory
Arose and o'ershadowed the earth with her
name;
She abandons mo now-but the page Of her
story,
The brightest o. blackest, is filled with my
Ihave warred with world which vanquished
ME only
When the meteor of Conquest allured me too
far;
l have coped with the nations which dread me
thus lonely.
The last single Captive to millions in war!
Farewell TO thee, France when thy dladem
crowned me.
made thee the gem and the wonder of earth,
But thy weakness DEGREES, should leave as
found thee;
Decayed in thy glory, and sunk in thy worth.
Oh! for the veteran hearts that were wasted
IN strife with the storm, when their battles were
won
Then the Eagle, whose gaze in that moment
was blasted,
Had still SCARED with eyes fixed on ric'ory's
sun!
Farewell to thee, Frauce!-but when liberty
rallies
Once more in :liy regions, remember then
The violet still grows in the depth of thy
valleys;
Though withered, thy Tears will unfold it again
Yet, yet, may battle the hosts that surround us,
And yet may thy hear, leap awake to my voice;
There are links which must break i'll the chain
that has bound us;
Then turn thee, and call on the chief Of thy
choice!
