Introduction Tho' 6lher Lands, my nlitive Isle, May seem more fair than Tbee, And other skies more brightly smile, Than those which now I see ; Yet, never can their charms impart Such smiles as shall beguile. From Thee the homage of this heart, My own— my native Isle ! For I have wandered far from Thee, In days already flown. And vainly hoped some clime to see, More genial than my own ; But never yet, my native Isle, Could foreign lands from me, Eract more than a parting smile. Or wean this heart from Thee— Whereas, whene'er a time drew uigh, In which from Thee I've parted. And left Thee— broken hearted! « ■Ife OATVTO I, \ V Tis true, that other climes may boasl, Much that thy soil ne'er growfi, ITieir sons despise thy fripd coast, And style Thee—" Land of crows !" Ti9 true, thy low, flat, sandy plains, Scarce loom above the sea, While feckled galls and long neck'd cranes, Claim pristine right to I'hee ! 'lis true, thy oft crop't eaten hills, Are now so nigh ran out, 'J'hat honest gpuds, in furrs or drills. Will scarce upon .. m sprout! Tis true, thy /anK<.rii, every day, With hanging heads complain, Tliat they can here no longer stay, For wont of hay and grain 1 Tis true, thy merchants seldom choose, To heed this common dearth, Or aell a pair of Yankee shoes. For what they're really worth I "Jls true, tl;y statesmen all are wise, And no mistake about it, TUuf ia t^ aatr •*«■ #7. 6tT 05 Tho' other people doubt iti cgrcs.
