SCHOOL EXERCISE, BY MISS 7.
Sons of the fowery, far of land,
greeting with willing hand,
welcome to our shore;
Sweet be thy dreams, tho fancy strays
Through Orient bowers and other DAYS,
While strangers guard your door
The same bright, radiant orb that gilds
Thy valleys, and thy native bills,
Shines In bis glory here;
And daily from your fiowery isles,
he brings a message in his smiles,
To love and friendship dear.
Fair commerce DER the surging main,
In peace shall cast her golden chain,
And in thy portals stand;
Our countries banner, broad and free,
Shall be guardian, till you see
Yourselves once more "Japan'd"
