Description
An account of the resource
<em>Written on hearing he had contributed two thousand dollars for the relief of the starving poor of Ireland</em>.<br /><br />No civic hours deck thy lofty brow,<br />Nor laurel wreaths won in the bloody fight;<br />Far nobler prizes glitter in thy sight,<br />And crown thy holy labours. Even now<br />Thy country owns thee as <em>the poor man's friend</em>,<br />And not thy country only; that green isle<br />Across the ocean, with a grateful smile,<br />Accepts thy bounty. Freely dost thou lend<br />What God hath given thee; freely dost thou cast<br />Thy bread upon the waters; but we know<br />It is not lost: each floating seed shall grow,<br />And yield abundant fruit. Bright o'er the past <br />With growing lustre shall thy virtues glow,<br />And on thy name a deathless glory cast.<br /><br /><em>April 5, </em>1847. <br />GULIELMUS.
