Of echo’s hundred sounds, Each vrand old river's sides beset With sylvan, flowery bounds.

| Each rarity of Natnre’s hand, | In water, stone, and w c As ornamenta, to adorn the Jand, Cauat from the ark and flood, Each enstle, tower, and holy fane That consecrates her eoil, Whence lamijuaries o'er the main Went forth to suered toil.

And from ber mountain's summit, I Would view with rapturous gaze,

Aud in her hallowed dust de ery The heroes of her lays—

Who ayituted, fought und bled,

And only when the soul had fled,

Were crowned with true applause.

' The golden emblems in the air, That holy iuceuse shroads, | Exbaled with sacrifice aud prayer, While nuthems pierce the clouds ; And think I'd see sweet spirils rive Transparent, pure, and bright, To make abode m far off skies, And share in Jove’s delight,

And Piety and Geuins, too, In syinpathy cowbine On wings of Eden's richest lne With form aud tace divine, Behold inspire a shepherd youth With worship's burning thine, To spread the light of lofty truth, And love aud peace proclaim.

And as old time, from age to age, Sped on untiring wing,

The great divine, the burd and sage, His praise, discourse, and sing ; And Erin's sons and dvoghters fair,

In every clime display The Sb:mrock’s natal, joyous air On great Suint Patrick's Day.
