PRlDE OF THE WEST! As ever still
With pride and joy to thee we turn!
Stl at thy name our heart-strngs thrill
Our pulses throb--our bDsoms burn:
What though, at PARTY's fell command,
Poor Faction hath ITSELF disgraced
And, where the noblest oc our land
Should be- one all unknown hath placed!
Yet is thine proudly still name
To which how poor all titled ia me!
HopE OF THE WEST! TO thee our hearts
Still turn in confdencc-for not
I'LL FREEDOM from our land departs,
By FREEMES shalt THOU be forgot.
And while our hearts, on all this earth,
Responsive beat to Freedoms tone,
The name of HER fair land of birth,
Shall call up memories of THINE OWN.
And history long shall name as one
The land of CLAY and WASHINGTON!
BIRD or TIE WEsr! Whose eagle eve
It's glance through vstas dim can throw,
How do5t thou scorn the enyious cry
. Ofthe poor chattering herd below,
Daring the storm and thunder cloud,
And facing all the MONDAY SUM-
How soarest thou above the crowd
Their petty race on earth who run,
As, far above the tempest foam,
Thou makest there thine eyre.home!
STAR OF THE WEST! Anaton'se eyes. =
Mid doubt and gloom are turn'd to thee;
AS the lone mariner seeks tlp skies
In storms, his guiding star to sec! ....
And still, as mounts on high the sun,
Though mist may cloud his upward way,
So--long as Time his course shall run
The halo round the name of CLAY,
More bright with each revolving year
In freedoms sky shall still appear.
