Clouds gather round the nation as it sinks, And tempests laugh that in his hand no more He holds the leash that bound them in their wrath. The granite pillar which upheld the dome Of that proud temple which was reared by hands Of patriot sages, and of warriors true, Has tottered to its fall, and is no more : God ! with thy potent hand for good, uphold The temple which our fathers builded thee. Ipfoarir, tffor flntosrfr. " " EVER upward, ever onward, " Be the motto of thy mind ; Never cast thy v...ision downward, Upward thy reward thou'lt find. Fate may frown upon thy pathway, O'er thee cast a transient cloud ; " Onward" still must be thy motto, Soaring on a pinion proud. What though sadness be around thee, For a moment clog the way ? Raze the wall that starts before thee, Bright will be the morrow's day. If the present be but darkness, Darkness cannot always last : Light must follow when it fleeth, Onward makes it vanish fast. 54 POEMS. Fortune may not smile upon thee, Foes may press, while friends forsake : Love but Truth, and Truth will guard thee, Towers of strength for thee will make.
