Ay-stand erect 1.-the cloud is broken

 Above thee stands the rainbow's token!

 The shadow of thy onward way Us blending into perfect day; .

 The islanders of the venal train

 Assall thy honest name in vain

 For thou art still as thou hast been,

 The hope of free and patriot men!

 Still boasts thy lip it's fiery zeal

 Thy heart it's joy m human weal-

 Snll free thy tongue, to soothe or warn Still keen it's fiery shaft of scorn-

 Still soars thy soul untamed and strong, ,a The loftler forits sense of wrong

 Still first in Freedoms cause to stand, The champion of her favorite land.

 oh-what to thee were pomp and show Aught that thy country can bestow

 Her highest gifts could only take

 New honors for their wearer's sake-

 They could not add wreath to thine, e. Nor brighter make thy glory shine: No-meaner ones may borrow fame,

 XHfne lives fhrnlIOh every cha noe inc aNme The Grecian as he feeds his fiocks,

 In Tempe's vale, on Morea's rocks

 Or where the gleam of bright blue waters, Is caught by Scio's white-armed daughters. While dwelling on the dubious strife

 Which ushered in his nations life,

 Shall mingle in his grateful lay,

 BozZARIS with the name of CLAY.

 Where blush the warm skies of the South Der Cotopaxi fiery mouth;

 And round the fallen Inca's graves,

 The pampas rolls its breezy waves,

 The patriot in his council hall l- The soldier at his fortress wall

 The brave--the lovely-and the free,

 Shall offer up their prayers for thee.

 And where our own rude vallss smile, And temple spre-and lofty pile; Crown, like the fashions of dream, The slope of every mountain stream

 Where Industry and Plenty meet,

 Twin brothers in the crowded street.

 Each spire and mountain upward sent,

 Shall be thy fitting monument!

 Still stand erect !-our hope and trust

 When law is trampled in the dust,

 When OCT our fathers yet green graves

 The war-cry of disunion raves r... And, sons of those who, side by side,

 Smote down the Lion-banner's pride,

 Are girding for fraternal strife For blow for blow--and life for life! ..t Let others rob the public store

 To bttu their ill-uSed power once u1Orn-

 Shrink Jack from truth--and open wide ' The aood-gates of .Coruption's tide . fl Thou siandest in thy countrys eye

 Unshrinking from it's scrutiny,

 And asking nothing but 10 show

 How fara patriots zeal can go j.1a3 And those whose trust is fixed on thee- ''' Unbought-unp,e edged-and truly free,

 Ihey bow not to an Idol down; .a..s r..s. They seorH alike the brbe and frown; And, asking no reward of gold ,m . !. For bartered faith-for honor sold,

 Seek, faithful to their hearths and home.
