YOUTH. HEALTH, AND GENIUS.

YOUTH, dEAA1A, HN
The worlds wide compass er has known,
By lowly hearth or golden throne,
A happier or lordler wealth
Than pride of genius, youth and health.
Oh Genius! child of God on high,
Creator Of the world and sky;
Bright ornament of noble mind,
Born to lead and bless mankind.
Do Youth! oh bright and happy morn!
Clad days when noblest thoughts are born;
II hen buoyant spirit lifts the soul,
To bless each season s changing roll.
Oh Health! oh pearl of kingly price!
What wealth Of gold in sacrifice,
The diving monarch in the arms of death,
Will pour to feel thy balmy breath.
There's youth and health in all the prime
OF genius in this golden CLINE!
No prouder nation e'er can claim
a pride more meet to praise her name.
Remember, youth, the hearts that bled
Iu many battle heaped with dead;
Measure your talents as you would
The price Of sacrifice anl blood.
Pcrchance the bravest Of you all,
Amid the dire strife, shall fall;
Oh, for all the brave that die,
Imsibc new life for liberty!
Stout and brave, by manhood's side,
For love and freedom boldly ride,
In the name of truth aud God On high,
March or to conquer or to die!
