Fair Ivor Hall 1 sad is thy fate , In ruin thy beauty departed ; Thorns and thistles crowd thy gate , Where trod the noble hearted . Thine Is no Muscof fire ,
No board or bower of pleasure ; No minstrel with his lyre , Nor host profuse of treasure . To Gwilim , f exquisite Bard 1 The death of thy Lord was distressing - Yet no desolation so hard , As owlets thy palace possessing .
Though proud the elevation , Of earth's superior powers ; Strange ! that they fix their station , }; On sand to build their towers ! WILLIAM EVANS .

For you were of the mighty Patriot band , Who viewed the dawn of glory o ' er her land . And lived to see the blaze , that clear and bright O ' er all her regions spreads its living light . Sleep on—the hallowed region where ye rest Shall by your Country ' s fondest prayers be blest ; There shall her children come , and while they gaze ,
Musing upon the deeds of former days , Shall feel within the kindling energy , The mighty spirit of the years gone by , And feeding thus their noble claim , to be Sons of the Brave , and Heirs of Liberty , Shall swear the glorious birthright to maintain ,
Their gallant forefathers did once obtain—The mighty Charter never to resign , But to their sons transmit the right divine . Whilst other nations their career have run , Thy race , Columbia ^ is but yet begun ; While Europe ' s nations , like the drooping flower , That sadly blooms in Autumn ' s faded bower , Wait but the bitter blast to fall and die ,
Thou like the plant beneath Spring s lovely sky , Hast the fair pledge of a yet brighter sun , Yet softer Heavens-, e ' er thy bright course be run
