HENRY CLAY.
BY AMELIA.

The day was beautiful--around our bark
In sparkling waves the flashing waters stirred
When, on the deck, one form chanced to mark,
I That made my quick heart flutter like bird
turned away,
Yet, something whispered, ere his name heard
'ris HENRY CLAY!
How like a vision float before me now, [whole
While Fancy stamps with seeming truth the
That stately form, that pale, expansive brow,
Those lips where smiles in bright succession
That eve of blue, stole
/ From whose unshadowed depths his very soul
! Seemed shining through
Worshpping genius, | had long desired
To meet this modern Cicero and, when
My glances sought the glimpse my heart required
A more than mortal grandeur awea me then;
For, as he trod,
Though but man amid his feow-men, m
lie looked God
Oh thou. by fears unmoved, by threats unbcnt
Amid the struggling tides that round thee roll
The meekly great-the purely eloquent
The bright one speeding to the goal ..
The iirm-the true t-..a
In whose all glorious praise feel my soul
$3.50. 49,. Exalted too:
Were | some gifted spirit, whose bright laws
Glow with high thought and wild poetic fire,
Then would sing for thee a song of praise,
Such as thy loftier spirit should inspire
But DER the strings s-.g. ss..
No poet bends; light hand sweeps the lyre-
woman sings. a.o.sr
Yet may breathe thy name, and bid thee press
On mid the adverse waves that round thee beat
Such barriers pave the way to sure success,
And frmness gathers strength from past defeat ;
The torrents force, 1a
Though turned aside, still struggles on to meet
Its destined course. aE
Not for the narrow views of party band,
Not for their ickle praise, or loud applause,
Dosi thon stand forth the champion of thy land,
The firm defender of her sacred laws;
s.aEs To light the flame
OF patriot zeal, to aid thy countrys cause,
Thine only AIM l.aa
And soon may our loved land. too long oppressed,
In beauty smile beneath thy mild command;
Thou IT thruned already in each patriot breast,
And the hieh-hearted ones throughout the land
Impatient wait
To see thee take in thine unerring hanl
The helm Of State
Oh, HENRY CLAY, the nalion's truest friend!
The lofty seat, for which lhou's noby striven
Shall yet be thine; for. if the angels bend
In answer sweet, TO soft petitions given,
The heartfelt prayer a
That my full spirit now uplifts TO heaven
VIII place thee there!
