On on the mighty stotms career,
Near 10 each other and st,Il more near
The Wind winged iempests ~,
The hgh,p'ngs wove in many a wreath
The thUnders shake the hills beneath,
And boom along the sky,
And now am,d the wind fierce rush,
Ta" ,hunder pest-ths lightning gush.
Oi ssrpen. winding ere
The dsrk array Of temPes, braves
In contest come the sable waves
With fury dresdfsI dire.
And now oh change most fearful change,
In the history OF natures stormy range,
The like cannot be found
One instant darling flaming cloud,
The n"1t midn'gh,s. sable shroud
Wells the sky and ground.
IN the Wild attack Of the battling storms
As they 'a'crm'ngle their giant forms,
Each backward and forward reels;
The warning ~inds IN close embrace,
The ceiling ightnings 'o,er'aee,
The siotm-cIosd batteries face 10 face
Pour forth their migbty pesIs.
Now hurled aiofi now Asng below,
Now swsyisg wildly to and fro.
The angry storms contend;
Furious w,nds- cloud hiring spray
Thunder peal and lightning ray.
In widest iumult blend.
One continuous fash the lightn, ,ngs pour
Incesssnl the deafning thunders roar,
And now lifting ITS massive form,
Rathed H. lightning flaming weIk,n,
Sweeping along the fight 10 win.
ls the reserve Of the southern storm.
On DER the Wild s,orm. battling skv,
With wave.lke sweep doth onward HE
The fierce snd mighty array;
One bngh, sun-darrling fash
One earthquake jsrring crash,
And the northern storm gives way.
In pursu'ngscolunns the victor's torn,
Add on the rear Of the fying storm,
lS"ep, by the mighty gsI~)
Ponrs sable cloud and thunder crash,
Rolling vapor and lightning fash
Rain aud rafting hail
On, Oh, and peslinz from sfar.
STILL boom the dreadful notes o' ws.,
S,ill the lvid iightn,ngs glare:
While sweeping down from the far.of
hills,
In torrents pour the mountzsn Iills,
Telling Of the strife ,hs, is rsginj
there.
As the eonquering storm. clouds onwsr,

And the lightning glare grows dim o.
the sky,
And fainter the thunders peal
Across The south i.s distant swsy,
Family at frat q gl'mmer'ng roy

But clrsrer, and wider, snd brighter
grows,
A. when morning across the dsrkne,
throws
Her first gentle wave Of light;
Soon the southern sky from Its dark We
freed,
As the gloomy clouds in the north reeed

The suns bright smile in the ralsbo~

More beautiful fer that gorgeous spa
Than the golden crown With 'ts fssh'I
gems
Tha, encucles the monsrch's brow.
The furious conflict now 10 Ger,
Such strife a. never rsged before
Since the rolling globe vas formed
flushed 10 the thunder's battle drum,
Vanished the clouds and vspo' dun,
And br,gh, and glorious shines the 81
