A rouz7 bleak coast rose up before my view-
Tlteu1ns!s were chill, the snow fell thick ana last
lfa5nthe wanderers in their forest home,
For home i VS., sHd liberty was theirs
Though but tie ground beneath, and sky DER head,
fhattey might claim 20 suecor or protest
But strong ihsT srns. though numbers few, to repel
The aitacS OF foes. vho sought but 10 destroy
Cod vas their strength His word their guide,
And mcek-oyed Faith stood ever near TO cheer'

she clang OF SFIaog sounded on the air,

Ger peaceful homes. and Ruin followed quick
Upon his track and Desolation spread
Her whitening. lighting breath wher'er ne stood.
