A CELEBRATED SONG OF THE LAST CENTURY.
The morning Sun shines from the east,
And spreads his glories to the west;
All nations with his beams are blss',
Where'er his radient ligh, appears:
So Science spreads her lighted ray,
Der lands which long in darkness lay;
She visits fair Columbia.
And sets her sons among The stars.
Fair Freedom her aiiendao, waits,
To bless the portals Of her gates.
To crown the young and rising States,
With laures of immortal day.
