SONG, For a Festival in Faneuil Hall. -Auld Lang Syne FILL, brothers, fill!the brightest pour- Not then the festive board was spread, From them went up no merry song, And 'war' each bosom thrilled "Twas for a prouder deed they mot, That should their names adorn; They came a glorious feast to set And nobly through their work they went, In wisdom and in power, And down to us the blessing sent That crowns this happy hour That crowns, &c. Then, brothers, fill! the brightest pour To them, the Great and Good, Who round this Hall, in days of yore, For us and Freedom stood For us, &c. ODE, For the Anniversary Festival of the Washington Light Infantry.— THE bugle is hushed, and the war-blade is sheathed Whose flash in the sunbeam to triumph directed; The olive's green branch with the laurel is wreathed, And Content tills the valley that Courage protected. Go on, lovely Peace, Bid the war-tempest cease, Till the isles of the ocean thy kingdom increase, And the ends of the earth swell thy chorus sublime 'Sleep, red-armed Destroyer, the slumber of Time!' Round the festival board with full hearts we unite, Who for Liberty stood, And traced her proud charter in letters of blood; Then raised their glad notes in the chorus sublime — 'Sleep, red-armed Destroyer, the slumber of Time!' O Washington! dearest and best of our race! Thy deeds through the night-cloud of ages shall lighten! Thy name on his banner the soldier shall trace, To hallow his death, or his triumph to brighten !— Shall our anthem forget, Whose arm hurled the bolt where the battle-clouds met; Then who joined with our sires in the chorus sublime 'Sleep, red-armed Destroyer, the slumber of Time!' Now the bumper-pledge drain-for ourselves let it flow! Hand to hand at the feast, hand to hand in the fight! In freedom and peace swell the chorus sublime 'Sleep, Spoiler of nations, the slumber of Time!' DEATH OF AN INFANT. ONE little bud adorned my bower, Yet not forever in the dust That beauteous bud shall lie; No! in the garden of the just, Beneath God's glorious eye, I trust, |
