HEN RY CLAY.

BY STREET.
Hail to the Statesman great and wise
The Patriot true aud bold
Where'er our trophied Eagle flies,
His name with pride is TOLD.
From Names dark pines and crags Of snow,
To where magnohan breezes blow
Der rich Floridian Flowers;
From billy East to prairicd West,
We hail him as our mighiiesi,
Rejoice in him as ours.
Twice, when the tempest Ger us hang,
And roar'd distinctions wave,
Like Light from darkness forth be sprung,
To guide US and TO save.
In :he fierce Hastings of the storm
Wesas his proud undaunted form
Upon the quivering deck,
As, with his eve on Unions star,
By his answering arm, afar
We shunn'a the threatening wreck.
His heart has beat in sympathy
Wnere'er, throughout the world,
The yoked have fought for liberty
With Freedoms. flag unfusl'd.
Say, Greece wnen nations saw you bleed,
Who trumpet-tongued, proclaimed your need
And, chimes Of Andes, say
That tempted land with answering shout,
And those stern SUBMITS thunder ont,
The name of HESSY CLAY.
A soul, where patriot love intense
And ftankesi feelings dwell,
4 splendid matchless eloguencc,
A courage nought can quell.
No paltry limits bound his fame
An empires scatter'd uyriads' claim,
On mountains wild and lone
In the thronged ciiy's busy streets,
In the green forests calm retreats,
His glory as their own.
What though detraction has essay'd
To cloud his noble brow,
Down from the height himself has made,
He smiles upon il now.
The oak, while growing, may be stirr'i
BY the light touch Of breeze and bird,
Its bark each insect slime
Mitured-though whirlwinds sweep the .Sy
1t lifts, unbowd its head On high,
In conscious strength sublime.
Welcome his way-his steps beneath
Let proud green wreaths be spread:
Oh how our proudest. greensst wreath
Would brighten on his head
Familiar as household word,
In after ages viii be heard
(When ours has passed away
A theme for song in happy hour.
A trumpet blast when dangers lower,
The name of HENRY CLAY.
