Happy may be the land
11rhere morlals with their eyes uplifred stand,
while eloquence her thunder rolls;

Snrgts upon passions stormy night

NE fimbs AZ their full length, nor overcast
Tue sky above bis head, bat the pure ray
stines brighter on the future than the past.

Aud where the fame OF PaIlas tands,
Pesred 10 her glory by his hands;

For your own glehes and gamers toll
With easy plough and lightsome fail:
A fathers home ye never knew,
Afatbers home your sons shall have from you.*
Rniov your palmy groves your cloudless days,
Your world that demons tore away
Took mn look up the flaming sword
Hath yanishtl aad behold your Paradise restored
Never was word more bold
Than through thy cities ran,
Let gold be weighed for gold,
Let man be weigh'd for man.
Thou spakest it; and therefor Praise
Shall crown thy later as thy earlier days,
And braid more lovely this last wreath shall bind.
Where purest is the hearts atmosphere,
Atlantic ruler there
Shall men discern at last the loftiest mind.
Rise, and assert thy trust
Enforcing to be just
