From Oriental skies it roll'd, O'er Carthage, Greece, and Rome ascending; 'Till waning Liberty foretold Its course to Gaul and Britain bending. Now further to the West it wings, Declining Freedom knells the warning; 'Midst Europe's night of despot kings, Columbia hails the Star of morning. Still in the evening's golden light Fair Albion shines the Eastern glory; Long will her name be kept as bright By sous of science, song, and story. The Eagle of the West aspires To equal Britain's name of wonder; Thence drew he first those deathless fires, Which made invincible his thunder. Long o'er that sphere may Freedom dwell, And Science there its noon-beams render; 'Till Genius with a Joshua's spell Stay in its course their faithless splendour.Eclips'd no more— their genial ray Shall nature's slumbering Powers awaken; And spread the universal day To every Eastern Land forsaken!
