When Jesus to thy soul reveals
His heavenly charms, his dying love,
And with his Holy Spirit seals
Thine interest in the joys above,

Then shall this heart no more repine,
No more shall flow the bitter tear:
Adoring love and faith divine
Shall banish every anxious fear.




ON COMMODOREOLIVER HAZARD PERRY,UPON THE RE-INTERMENT OP HIS REMAINS AT NEWPORT, R. I.1826.
What mean this solemn pomp, this phalanx slow
Moving august, these military bands,
With pausing pace and countenance of woe,
And arms inverted gravely borne along,
Mournful, majestic, without pipe or song?
