THE EMBARCATION OF THE PILGRIMS.
take the wings of the morning aud dwell in the ui'em'
of the sea- there shall Inv hanu leaa me- ahu III! s
d shall hold me."-PsALM cxxrH.
Ay there they arc. the old, the young,
The arms the man oil prayer
Each heart is steeed each nerve IS strung
They fear death, for Cop is there.
The storms rent clouds like rineets, play,
Round the bold forehead of the day,
Whose eye upon the Western Hood
Now rests and turns the waves to blood.
And, while upon the hinge OF night
The swift hours pause 10 catch The sight,
He linls the crystal drops that cling
To the wild Moth winds misty wing,
And lights the tempasts funeral march
With the broad rainbow brilliant arch.
Az, there they are, upon the deep.
Each voice has spoke It's last farewell:
Like hearts bereaved, they cannot weep;
But who their agony shall tel:
They turn from Hollands friendly shore,
From forms that meier shall meet them more
Each knee before its Maker bent;
Each eye upon us God intent;
Each tear concealed by duty's frost;
Each sob in invocation lost
Oh, who like them, could mount the wave,
To found a State or I'LL a grave;
When fearful odds against us make,
And life and liberty : al stake,
Oh, It's desperate act 10 tread
On sory's bastious strewn with dead,
And plant nations standard high
Above The march Of victory.
But twas a migh,ier task In brave
The Pilgrims path Ger oceans wave;
10 leave the homestead on the lea
Where love watched over infancy
The dead who slept beside the glen,
Aud the old memories oi men-
And, mid the ,-npests frozen breath,
TO play the game IF life with deaih;
TO bear infant nations form,
Secure amid the dreadful storm,
Plant lis frail feet regions wild,
And watch 10 manhood such q child
Such, Carver. was thy mighty task.
When Virtue laid aside her mask,
And, in her plain aud spotIess dress
Sought refuge IN the wilde rness.
OH what immortal issue. hung
On every accent OF thy tongue;
On every thought that held control
And cast a shadow DER Thy SOUL
On glory's power, on knishhood's fame,
On riches, honor, and q name:
The sun has set-they re on the sea.
oh, what glorious companie,
The fallen of n nation, borne
In GRIFFIN JOY To give return.
Az when the mail clad hosts shall fail,
Aud winds through ruined castles wall,
When chivairy shall find her tomb,
And knish,hood's sun descend III gloom,
Then shall the Pilgrims children stand
The guardians OF mishtier land
I.ife.ieemng canvass. In thy tone
Immortal Genius speaks alone;
Speaks 10 the Iraybeard and The youth
In The deep rloqut nee nj truth.
Here let the sofrowng patriot come
When biscord beats her wizard drum,
And the proud pillars Of the free
Rock like the crags that line The sea:
Here let him learn what Patience wrought,
When Virtue plead and Reason taught,
When Hope upon The distant wave
Danced like corpse-ishi o'er grave,
And life upon balance hung,
While BREWSTER prayed and SrANpisH sung
Here let him ponder welt The past, , !,
And with his country brave the blast. j. l. ~
