MY NATIVE LAND.

"sMy natire land Good .Night.,-BYnos.
The boat swings from the pebblcd shore.
And proudly drives her PROV,
The crested seas roll up belore;
Yon dark gray land see no more,
How sweet thou seemsi now!
Ihon dark gray land, my native lana,
Thou land ofrock and pine,
. I'm speeding from thy golden sand;
But can wayea farewell hand
To such shore as thine!
I've gazed upon the golden cloud
Which shades thine Emerald sod
Thy Hills which freedoms share hath ploughed
Which nurse a race that have nol bowed
Their knee to aught but God;
Thy mountain foods which proudly fling
Iherwaiers 10 and tall
Thy birds which cut with rushing wing
The sly thai grcets Thy coming spring,
And thought thy glories small
But now yc've sbrunk to yon blue Inc
Between tie sky and sea,
feel sweet home, that thou art mine,
feel my bosom cling to shine
That Lam part of thee,
see thee blended with the wave,
As children see the earth
Close up sainted mothers grave;
They weep fer her they cannot save,
And feel bel holy worth.
Thou mountain land thou land OF rock,
I'm proud to call thee free:
Thy sons are OF the Pilgrim stock,
And neryed like those who stood the shock
AT old Thermopoye.
The laurel w,eatbs their fathers won,
The children wear them still
Proud deeds these ron men have done,
They fought ard won at Bennington,
And bled at Bunker Hill.
There's grandeur in The lightning stroke,
Thai rives the mountain ash
There's glory inthy giant oak,
And rainbow beauty ili the smoke
Where crystal waters dash!
There's music in thy winter blast,
From piercing winds like those thon hast,
TO nurse thine iron men.
And thou hast grms, ay, living pearls,
And flowers of Eden hue;
Thy loreliest are thy tright-eyed gilis,
Ol fairy forms and elm curls,
And snilrs Ike IIern.ons deSr-
They've hearts like these lhej'lc born 10 we'd
Too proud TO nurse slave,
They'd scorn to share monarcl's bed,
And sooner lay their angel Lead
Deep IL their humble grave.
And have left thee, home, alone,
A pilgrim from thy shore;
The wind goes by with hollow moan
hear il sigh warming tone
$ e see your home no more.''
Pm cast upon The worlds wide sea,
Torn like an ocean weed
I'm cast away far--far from thee,
feel thing | cannot be-
A bruised and broken reed.
Farewell my nntive land, Farewell!
That wave hasl,id :lee now
My heart is bowed as with spell,
This rending pang!--W Would could tell
What ais my throbbing brow
One look upon that fading streak
Which bounds yon eastern sky;
One tear TO cool my burning check,
And then aword cannot speak
My native Iand-Good bye.r
