THE BRITISH MINSTREL; AND
But see the glorious dawn unfold,
Ttie brighter day that lurks behind,
The march of armies may be told,
But not the march of miud ;
Instruction, child of heaven and earth !
As heat expands the vernal flower,
So wisdom, goodness, freedom, power.
From tliee derive their birth.
From thee, all mortal bliss we draw ;
From thee, religion's blessed fruit ;
From thee, the good of social law ;
And man redeemed from the brute.
From thee all ties to virtue dear ;
The father's, brother's, husband's name;
From thee the good and holy fame
That never shed a tear.
Oh breathe thy soul along the gale.
That Britons still in generous strife,
Knowledge and goodness may inhale.
The mingled breath of life ;
So shall they share what they possess.
And show to distant worlds thy charms,
Knowledge and peace their only arms,
Their only aim to bless.
