GADIH SENTINEL.
January /, 1862. |
Upborne on the wave of the petulent stream,
Our weary bark of life again draws near,
The welcome harbor of the meeting years.
Like to worn mariner, who glides at length
In some known portal, with his shattered ship,
And finds safe anchorage, ere yet too late,
To mend his battered keel-so, too, doth man,
On life's eventful flood tossed to and fro,
His frail bark fetted in its every seam,
Need here such welcome harborage as this,
To test his timbers and to trim his sails.
Glad opportunity to clear life's deck,
And rid from all the rubbish of the past
From filth of passion of the passage out
The added trash of our corrupted hearts.
What! tho the Storm King rattles there without,
And courseth thro' the deep with his fierce steeds,
Yet, vain may he attempt this peaceful offng!--
Here defy for one brief day his power!
Bring forth the silver trumpet of content,
And sound kind greeting HAPPY New YEAR
To EACH ONE! Each heart take up the greeting,
And let it ring in one glad echo everywhere
Making merry many stricken one,
And dealing love and light to the lone souls
Who go, with bowed heads on their ploddng way.
Veal let it ring in one glad voice from all
A BRIGHT AND HAPPY New YEAR TO EACH HEART!
And while pure love muses. from the spell,
Come all, and join me in my humble song,
OF Home, of Country, and of Fatherland.
There are those who have sung of Empires past,
And of Kingdoms that have fourished anon,
Of States that have stood gaiust Times sweeping
blast,
| Far away towards the rising SUM-
Their glory and praise they have loudly rung,
| In members of pride-yet never
No, never! did one of land prouder sing,
Than |, of our Union forever!
Come, swell the glad song every one to-day,
Who loves this bright land of the free
The raliyipg spot of the Exile away,
And the soil of fair Liberty's Tree.
Columbia Columbial-the boast of the brave,
The land of our loved Washington!
The home of the down-trodden over the wave,
The refuge of each stricken one!
The Day Star of Nations! may she remain,
As she towers to-day in her prime
Esto perretua! May her bright name
Ne'er dim from the Temple of Time!
know that to-day, she is tossed to and fro,
And aches in the travail of strife
Grim War shakes his banner of terror and woe,
And dscord and death stain her life.
But tell me, 0 tell me, where is there one .
} Who yet of her end can despair?
{ Let me point him above, there, to Freedoms sun
. Where it beams all the brighter thro' care!
Think not, think not We Patriot band,
}, That Gods love with us is at end
7 IT'S onr own stubborn we have to withstand
And it calls upon all to amend.
: Gods love cannot be so recreant now,
Towards the land He has loved SO well;
n And my spirits within still kindle and glow,
:. When think that His hand works the spell.
: And 0, there never was Truth yet on earth,
|. But twas born in the midst of confusion;
II Tis darkness and doubt insures its bright birth
: Then hail to our glorious old Union!
s No! I'm not one to think that God gave us
;. This loved land of Freedoms estate,
o To allow such n rebel crew, led by Davis,
u It's end at this time to dictate!
u Columbia, Columbia, the hour q dark shame,
When such ignoble souls saw the day
u | nLI;,;or ,oay Il soo, bida ayaTv
They're lie and a curse in our way!
I've song, too for q Patriot band,
J. And word for the noble and true,
e Who rally this day at McClean's command,
, Such host as the world never knew. q
:, 0 brave Volunteers stand ye steady-steady,
u And remember our Country's bright end
Stand like rock--for millions ready,
!. Tois loved land with you to defend
There's avoice comes to-day, from valley and plain
( And response from each ocean afar
I'VE are thine, 0 Columbia!--aud thine We
e remain,
e In prosperity, peace, or in war!'
Twenty millions of Freemen raise the glad shou
) And an echo rings it back from the feld--
l
d And we'll teach them how soon they shall yield!
A We've aword too, to day, for those who have fel
As they fought in the van for the Union
j. The song of regret shall their memories swell,
i And perpetuate what they have won
a Young Ellsworth, and Lyon, and Baker the bolt
q And host more as precious and true,
j. Whose names on Columbia's front are enrolled
It Let us hail to their lives, then adieu!
10 And now, as we stand, to-day, by their tomb,
!. And mingle the fast-falliug tear,
10 Let us not forget our time too has come,
II To strike for our country so dear!
ARISE Patriots, RIsB and grid ev'ry one
J. Stand forth, with god.like devotion!
Then Columbia shall be still the land ofthe free
Is The gem--ths proud gem Of the ocean!
Ie And her glorious banner, with colors sky born,
l. That now flaps in the morn's breezy breath
e Not Star shall yield, or Stripe be torn, 4
% Till each true heart is sealed in cold death;
y Hence with delay then, and onward now move,
And let mercy assist each endeavorl
