COON as the lark observes mornings grey D The first faint gimmerings of the opening day, Hangs in midair and carols at the sight So NsS the S mn sa to sss @ Sy s % nad S and She towers high and halls the orient ray, The dawn of glory brishtning into <.,a day; Sees distant times and future scenes surveys
 She sees the time when this New World shall show The giant strength she bears, and crush the foe; When tyrant Kings shall yex her realms no more When mad Bellona shall forget to rage, And smiling Peace recalls the Golden Age; iN F r When angel Freedom hasens to our shore see tho Sons Of thl New World increase; NumrouS aS oceans sands see them rse z A.raA Af NmsOu: as stars which s.S sS h' , winter ss.S Scs And make 6 Garden of tho Wilderness.
 see In those wiids where now tho savage roams Or wigwams stand, fair Agriculture comcsl Ana lol the dwellings of our children lIss; The desert smiles and blossoms like tho rose seel peaceful han,es deck the rural scene. And towns arise by many distant stream. Where once huge Ss m ana s. aSsd p0Ps @ stood see them deck tho Mississippps side 1 sec the time when Industry explores The desert thro'. and meets e the oceans % shores Invites thousand navies to her strand, Laden with wealth from many distant land From pcrsias realms tho beast of former times From Chinas fndias burning clineS.
 What millions swarm (caled forth by Freedoms ray) From oeorgias groves to Haaan's frossd bsy, To where the wild Xtlantics surses roar. To bless these millions, Art exhausts her powers And lavish Nature empties all her stores While Commerce lays her treasures at their feet And rifles different lands to make them great
 Then shall fair Science feast tn enrapurd mind With Knowledge yet unpuckt and Truth refnd; spreads hundred doors And opens ali her intellectual Stores-- She calls the Muses their ancient seats, And bids them hasten to her green retreats They hasten hither-and they love the glades Shit with these virgin scenes, their praise rehearse. And bid them flourish In immortal verse; To paint their beauties wake the poets tongue And not grove shall bloom or river flow unsung.
 Some future bard whom oil the MuseS love- Shall sing the charms of fair vhginas grove, or tune his vocal reed by schuyllrlls side And susquehanna, as she rolls along, shai hear her name immortaiiEd in song
 Here Governments their last perfection take Erected only for the Peoples sake; But on the basis of the Public Good. No contests then shall mad ambition raise No % chieitanS % quarrel r,.A Tor - . sprs % Of praise And not EDg C cloud s.ass. the Sli;siul dsy; And not . Slave in oil her happy plains.
 Twas for these embryo blessings Warren bied And iovd Mcngcmerys daring spirit hed. ,p. In their defence brave Nash Eesignd his breath And gallant Mercer nobH i,cvn'd on death And this dim view of ages yet to come. And edge the sword the honest patriot draws; Teach him In Treedons cause, 'ts truly great To bare his bosom to the shafts of fate; f T brave .ss hs s. h'ETs ,.s Of the .,; Ssntns sn ps Then shall his spirit freed from mortal cares, Mount to tne .;s. ss. and a M mings wth .ns stars; And distant ages venerate his name
