THE FORLORN HOPE.


Like the tread of gathering armies,
Along the muffled earth,
Deep thought, from myriad sources,
Is struggling into birth
Blending the intensest sympathies
For suti'ring human kind,
As, one by one, the nerves are strung,
OF Freedoms Mighty Mind |!
Its deep incessant surges roll
Forever to the West;
Seeking, through strife, haowed goal,
A haven of the best;
Heavens chosen minister's are We,
Beneath its starry arch
Who marshall on the band of hearts
That beats the hero's march.
To you the mighty trust is given,
To lead the assauting van;
No ''hope torlaR'' cr hayward doubt,
Points on from where you stand:
For him who conquers in the right,
The glorious wreath of fame
For him who covers in the fight
The Spaltan's Brand of Shame.
What threats from yonder capitol!
Lo! Treason's ebon pail,
Like thunder-cloud at full noontide,
Hangs DER your council hall!
No ray of light, the tempest brings,
Its chaos to illume,
Save where some spirit, lightning winged,
Cleaves through the mmky gloon.
Shall Fear Qhe crayen) sway their souls
Whose sues dared all for Right
Where they in weakness uiumphed, shall
We tremble in our might?
Go-Southronl sink the rock-piled hills
By thy fats lightest word,
But deem no pulse Of lreemen, by
Its mightest thunder stirred.
As, to Thermopylae's rugged wall
Sprang the brave Grecian youth,
In the Areopagean hall,
We hold the Gates of Truth:
Bar with your breasts that hallowed pass,
Where Errors hosts would come,
Till freedoms scattered ranks shall band,
Within their mountain home.
Then will we roll the contest back;
Though guarded pass be won,
Each foot of Freedoms sacred soil,
Shall be Marathon;
For, beams on high, the star of Truth,
To beacon on the free,
And our course is onward ever
Like the heaving of the sea.
