Welcome. Thrice welcome IL thy silyeriy sieaua,
wel no1a tSe si%ps, of sSa c ssrsaTI hc,a.
A. summers breath to Avon's Whispering
From rock.wnlled channels. drowned In ray.
Leap iortS 70 ute and light.
wake from tho darkness OF thy troubled
And greet with answering smile tho morn
No purer lymph the whitclimbed Na,sd
ThsnIfrom thy chal!ce flows:
e Ia sss n Is'S sna sSsanS w ns Ses'f from sa Roid chores oSe.
Nor CLASSY stream Dlandusia's fountain
No. wa sSIt, r%nsn.iuocnt where sabrlna fair
lraids her loosc-flr wing hair,
Nor tho swift curreni. stainless us It rose
Where chill Alvciron steals from Alpine
Here shall! the traveller stay his weary feet
To seek their calm retreat:
Here at high moon the brown.armed reaper
Hers. when ne tho shadows. frightening from
Eatron and maid Shall h. Il the C Cares saw away
That lrscdcd DER tho day,
While fiocking oundt them troops OF children
And ali the arches ring with laughter sweet.
Here shall tho stced. his patient life who
In toll tina. never ends;
Hot from his thirsty tramp Ger hill and plain,
Plunge his rcd ~nostliis. While tho torturlns
.rtin
Drops In loose loops beside his floating name:
Nor the poor brute that shares his masters
Find Ills anal, needs forgot.
T!r,nest of humble, icna-cnduring friends,
Whose rresence cheers. whose guardian care
Hero lark. and thrush. and nightingale shall
And ssimming swallows din,
And strange shy wanderers fold their lustrous
Fragrai.t from bowers that lent their sweet,
Whore Fnstum's rosc or persla's lilac blooms;
Hero from his cloud tho eagle stou,s to dri;,k
AT the full basins brink.
And whet his l,cak against It's rounded lin,
Her, shall tho dreaming pet linscr long,
Far from his listening thro.y-
Nor lutte nor lyro his trembling hand shall
bring:
Hero no frniil Muse shall imp her crippled
No falteriny minstrel strain his throat to
These haiIowcd echoes who shall daro to
Whose tuncless voice would shame,
Whose jaMgiins chords with Earring notes
Tho nylnpiis TINT Heard the Swan of Ayop's
sonyY
What visions greet tho Pilgrims rapturcd
what ghosts made real risei
Tine dead returl--tlicy brcathe-they live
aorncd isA tic: host of Fancy's airy train.
Fresh from tho springs of Shukspearc's quick.
cntng BRAIN!
Tie stream that s!akcs tho souls divinci
thirst
Here found tho sunbeams first;
Rich with his fuMc, not less shall memory
Tho gracious gift thathumblcr wants supplies.
Der the wide waters reached tho hand that
To Mi this tcunteous wave,
With heath: and strength, and Joyous beauty
hl'st be sr the generous Pledge of friendship.
From the far homo of brothers. lovo, I'm.
Long may fair Avon's flow, enrolled
with stOrted shrines Of old,
Cast9lia's spring, Egeria's dcwy cave.
And HOred'S rock the God of Israel claycl
Land Of our Fathers, ocean makes us two.
But heart is trucl
frntd is your towering daughter In the West,
xcC IN her burning lifc.biOod reign contest
atcr mothers pulses beating in her breast.
xolS molly fOunt, whose r:llS FROM heuyen do
eccnd,

Aud love make one tho old hDNie and tho new
