TELL Me NOT!
Tell me not, tell me not of that land Of the East,
Where the flowers ever blossom, the beams ever

Where the eyes, as the senses, continually feast,
On beauties and sweets that doth never decline;
Where the verdure OF Summer Is seen the year long,
And the earth is e'er fll'd with the hottest airs,
Where its sons are unequali'd In music and song,
And It's daughters fair rs the fow'rs 1t bears
Tell me not, tell me not ofthat land ofthe Sun,
That bright, dazzling cline, where he seems neer 10

Oh tell me not not Of that; for still there Is one,
To me far more bright, far more beautiai yet;
'Tis my own native land: that bright land, which
know
Few e'er view save with sense oil delight;
TITS the land of the Wesl around whose noble brow
Fair Freedom hath circed her laurel so bright
o ,tis here il is here in this land where we are,
That the poor and the exIled stranger may come
And may ind himself blest, midst its regions 80 fair,
With a shelter of refuge, pence smiling homes
Ay, 'tis here he can live unmolested-nor bow
Meath the hand Of oppression, nor the tyrantsrod,
Unfetter'd in thOug ht and In conscience and know
No rule save The law, and no sovereign but God.
Then tell me NOTCH not Of tha, land fair and BRIGHT
Whilst own all so lovely, our eyes can behold
OF its beauties e'er blooming, so fresh IN our sight,
What pencil hath painted, what pen yet hath told:
Its stars spark ng and its skies are AS clear,
Its flowers fragrant, as exquisite too;
Its sons are more brave and more gallant in war,
And its daughters more lovely, mere constant anu

would allow his name 10 go before The Conyen-
