      If hopes—that are bright as the glories that gild * The themes of the prophet—the pongs of the bard ; Those themes , that a view of eternity yield ; ; Those songs that on earth give to nrtue reward :

      If pride—that self-thought and philosophy nurse , Uplifting the mind above fashion ' s mad rules ; That mocks at the power that is placed in the purse , The pomp of the proud , and the custom of fools : If feeling—that Nature still holds in her train , That sighs with the weeper , that smiles with the gay ; That curses the tyrant wherever he reign ,

      And quits superstition far Truth ' s heavenly ray : If mind—hope—thought—feeling , like these are allied To those who have flourished , the good and the brave , Then he was my sire who crouched not to pride , And he is of kindred who dwells o ' er the wave .

      O ! long as that wave shall beat free on thy land , So long * may Columbia be chainless . and free ; My hope is in her , —for the world by her hand Its freedom shall gain , —shall as fetterless be I

      Sung after Sermon , in the Old Meeting-House , Birmingham , on New-Year s Day , 1826 .

      The year has pass'd away , Swift as the gliding stream 5 And all its scenes appear Like relics of a dream 1

      Spent are its griefs , Its joys are flown , And tnem ' ry holds Their trace alone I

      All nature sings the bounteous Power From which its beauties flow ; The rolling wave , the cooling show'r , The lofty oak , the humble flow ' r , Alike their Author own , their mighty Maker show .

      They tell of him whose pow e rful hand From nothing all things made ; He stretch'd the skies , he spread the land , Obedient to his high command That sun majestic rose , whose glories never fade . Let the glad sound of song arise To him who all has

      given—Oh , Thou who reign ' st above the skies , Accept the praise , the sacrifice , Of man , thy noblest work , the destin'd heir of heav ' n . To him alone thy goodness gave To bear thine image here , Oh let thy mercy from the grave His reason , thy true image , save , And love correct the faults which dimm'd that image here .
