How others, blest with fav' ring fortuu. view

Another year has iourneyed round
us seasons clothed the earth il beauty
Spring, summer, Autumn, mild,
Have hllea our homes with peace and plenty.
lnough nature kind completes the plan,
Designed by God, believed by man,
sun man ungrateful and untrue,
commits again his sins
Var, raplne, bloodsbed, murder, ruin,
Have changed the aspect OF creation;
Ambition, nations pride and folly, rescinds
Her power, revokes her aid and leaves commotion,
In Eastern Chimes to fade and die.
Three mighty nations, msrhed 70, wealth and power
Who nee, in vain. il bloody war did yte
Now wisely aim, each passing hour
To strengthen the bonds OF unity.
But cross the tide, in happier lands
Excitement still prevails, a sturdy band
Declared their creed, . no cross OF blood
Can eer improve the of tho.e who stood
On PlyInou' Rock, and Ger the sta
And dark woods, sent the Anthem of the Free
Entanghag schemes, being born rule,
Soon wrought i change in their political school
