.sAn emerald set in the ring of the sea."-Song.
GLoRvos.! the tears that fall bright from thine eyes
Are wept for land in deep sadness reclining,
Whose can but vent their proud feelings in sgis,
While the feters of slayry around them are twinng:
They look back to the days the past when each breast
Was as free as the stream gushing broad from the foun-


tain;
When the emerald banner, the sun Of the west
Soard brightly on high over valley and mountain.
Oh! they DER the past they gaze the stream
When the rays of the sun decline ia its bosom;
And the deeds of their sres recal'd like dream
That glows in the heart when its hopes in blossom
They awake hut alas the fond effort is vain,
To hurl off the irons that rattle around them;
Betrayd-disunited-is there augIt remain,
But to die i'll the chains with which tyrants have bound


themi
Then weep thee, Gorvonia dear Erin in thee
Has heart of devotion still left mourn DER her.
Who no more has chief, in her troubles, to be
Like pillar OF light to her children before her.
Oh that the clouds that hang her fame
The beams of fresh glory might distantly sever
And freedom and valor entwine with her naine
While oppression istorn from her island forever.
