HYMN TO AMERICA

HYMN TO AMERICA.
By wArrrs ..yas l.sDeR.
Daughter Of Albion thou hast not
Tile lesson of thy sire forgot:
Listening at times to power and pride,
Reader thou turnest TO attend
On bleeding valor, and befriend
Him who can hope no friend beside
Long ere the patriarch Of the west
Land, three vast oceans bound. possessed
When all around was dark and wild
Adventurous rowers rowed from Greece,
And upwards on n suu-like fleece
The maids of ocean gazcl md smiled
Our maidens with no less delight
Surveyed around the cliffs Of Wight
Thy swjfter pinnance glide along
Although the conqueror was not one
Their gentle heads might rest upon
When cease the dance and supper-song.
Yet from their thresholds went they forth
To hail the youths of kindred worth.
And clapt uplifted hands. although
Louder. and with less pause between.
The yoies of their palms had been
For some behind they better know
4 To teach the mistress Of the sea.
What beam, and mast. and sail should be
To teach her how to walk the wave
With graceful step. is such lore
As never has been taught before
Dumb are the wise, aghast the brave.
To strike the neck of Athos through
Was children's play mans work they do
Who draw together distant seas.
On Andes rise their starry throne.
Suhdue tumultuous Amazon.
And pierce the world Of pale Chinese.
The dawn is reddening of the day
When slender and soft-yoiced Malay
Shall learn from thee to love the laws
Europe in blood may riot still:
Only do thou pronounce thy will
And war. outside her gates. shall pause
Garlands may well adorn the mast
Which first the Jsthlnain cleft hath past.
And shouts Of jubilee may well
Arise when those return who first
The bonds. imposed by nature. burst.
And boldest hearts more boldly swell
Yet sails there now across the main
A prouder ship than e'er again
Shall ride its pillows: at her head
Stands Kossuth there that hero stands
Who royal perjury trembling hands
Struck from afar and left for dead.
Daughter of Albion. we avow
That worthy Of thy sire art thou,
That thou alone his glory sharest: t
Raise up thy head. yea. raise it high
Above the plume of victory;
The plumed brow is not the fairest.
