Oh ! had they died on Baltic shore, 'Mid gun and cannon's thundering roar, Led by the chief who vainly tried, To steer them through that icy tide ; The anguished hearts who mourned them slain, Had felt they had not died in vain.
Or better far, cross Afric's sands, God's holy mission in their hands ; Had they been sent a land to save, To strike the fetters from the slave — To find beneath that burning sun, New fields of commerce yet unwon, To labour for their country's good, 'Mid savage beasts, ...and men as rude ; Though they had ne'er returned again, Their lives had not been lost in vain.
Brave men, who sent across the wave, To seek a phantom, found a grave ; Your country can but mourn your doom, And weep above your icy tomb : The thing ye sought for, now 'tis found, What is it but an empty sound ? The eagle and the polar bear, Alone can find a passage there.
Yet not in vain, your fearful fate, Some future ruler of our state, i-2 MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.
When asked to aid in airy schemes, Which when accomplished, prove but dreams ; Shall say, while pointing to the leaf, That tells your history, sad and brief— " England again must never send Such men as these to meet such end.
