'Twas his, deaf to pity, to tenderness dead,
The (alien to crush, and the hnmble to spurn;
Bui I staid not. his scorn, -from his mansion I fled,
And my healing- heart vnWd never more to return.
When home shall receive me, fine home yet 1 know,
Oct its gloomy recess see the pine branches wave;
'Tis the tomb of my fathers!— The world is my foe,
And all my inheritance now is a grave.
Tis the tomb of my fathers, the grey-moisfend walls
Declining to earth, speak, emphatic, decay:
The gate oft its hinges,and hall-opening, calls
"Approach, most unhappy, thy dwelling of clay!'
Alas! thou sole dwelling ol all 1 hold dear,
How- little this meeting once aug'urd my breast.
From a wanderer accept, oh, my fathers! this tear:
Receive him, the last of your race, to your rest!
