PRIZE ODE, TO BE SUNG AT THE DECENTRALIZATION OF
THE CRYSTAL PALACE, NEW YORK, MAY A, 1854.
BY WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.
Lo the transitory darkness
From our palace floats away
Lo the glorious gems Of genius
Glitter in the rising day.
See again the mighty nations
Meet and clasp each others palms.
And by abor's glowing altar
Lift on high according psalms.
Here behold the true Evange
Not from may earth increase;
God has stamped his shining patent
Only on the brow Of peace
Only by the of labor,
Swinging to Inventions chime,
Can the nations build their Eden
In the wilderness Of time
Nationsl hear that mighty music
Rolling through the mountain bars-
Planting deserts, bridging oceans,
Marrying the choral stars
Telling that our Crystal Palace
Glorihes the joyous sod
Making man. with art and nature,
Worthy Of the builder-God
Nations then rejoice that darkness
From cur Palace floats away,
And the glowing gems Of genius
Glitter IN the light of day
