YEARS TO COME.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.


A day will dawn ne'sr shall see,
A night will set ne'er shall know,
The wave.lides of humanity
Thus ever circle, 10 and fro
The dew with gems shall bed The flower,
The bird make rich the morn with song i,
And Mind, still climbing hour by hour,
Find worlds beyond the starry throng.
Years shall return 10 future years
What ages unto them have given,
And That high power which-Failh reveals,
Grasp the fixdhopes OF earth and Heaven.
What younger Howard then might feel
What other Wilberforce arpe-
What Burke assert the general veal
What Ross or Neptune span the skies?
The joys, The hopes, the interests,
That animate the bosom now,
Shall lend their glow to o!her BREASTS
And. flush the young enthusiasts brow.
What theory shall then succeed!
What deeper power-what newer theme,
What fresh discovery supersede
The electric aasE-the steed of steam
Who'll be the bard to England dear,
When centWies have filled and fed
Or who the statesmen crowds will cheer,
Worthy the Peels or Chalhams dead?
The passions that distract mankind
The pride-the envy-the mislrnst-
Shall they be scalter'd on the wind
That lifts the banrer of The just?
Shall Christian sense e'er sheath The sword,
Shall simple justice rule the land,
Shall Law its shield Of right afford,
A right That all may understand!
