GoW, pure red geld, in glitt’ring heaps,
Gleans in the darken’d mine*, ; .
A iid wheresoe’er I turn my eyes
>The yellow tempter shines.
A thousand sicken’d wretches pine
In hunger by those heaps;
While some, not yet quite stricken down,
The victim’s labor reaps.
A:fearful.scourge—a fatal plague,
Is Bulking through the land,
Which, like a ruthless victor, slays
Our brethren where they stand.
Through watches of the dreaded night,
Pray’rs, groans and cries are heard,
’ While hungry wolves, impatient wait,
As screams the carrion bird.
No shelter o’er pur burning heads,
But’neatb the. scorching sky,
We stretch our fev’rish limbs at night,
And almost pray to die.
No wile—no child—no mother dear,
Are near to hear our groans, v
Nor can they come in future days
To hide our bleaching bones.
* Then come not here—llie paths which lead
' ff Out to this golden land,
Are through the desert or the deep,
Where roains a savage band.
No GoJ but gold is Vorshipp’d here,
No Sabbath kept, no Bible read.—
No pray’rs around the sick man’s couch,
Nor fun’ral service o’er tb’ dead.
Some rotted here in fest’ring heaps,
Uncoffin’d, and unknell’d, . -
O’er whose foul bodies in mid-day
The wolves their banquet held. .
T/ien come not here? gold cannot pay
You for your friends and home;
Stay, stay, nor from such blessings turn
In this strange dime to roam.
Were I but back, no golden dreams
Coulri their delusions, fling,
But, like a storm-beat eagle, I
At home would fold my wing.
Alas! alas! like somq proud oak,
Down-stricken in its strength,
I’m blighted in the morn ot life,
And here must die at length.
