 The Genius of Canada mourning in her solitary haunts 
 on the banks of the Ottawa. Consolation is offered to her. 
 A couixcil c'' chiefs is called from which the greatest results 
 are anticipated. But evil passions interfere; factions and 
 parties arise. The white mm comes. The wigwams of the 
 Aborigenes are seen near his dwellings. This picture of 
 peace comforts the guardian spirit. She experiences still 
 greater joy on beholding the prosperity of the country, the 
 harmony of its ra,ces, and its niore recent developments}.

 saddest lot ! 
 In lonely grot, 
 Bound by unholy spell 
 Cheerless ever to dwell ! 
 
 Thou mournest, hapless sprite, 
 
 Wrapped in thy misty pall. 
 
 Nought can thy soul delight 
 
 Lone by the melancholy waterfall. 
 
 The pines around, 
 
 The weeping skies. 
 
 The dull cold swampy ground 
 
 And caverns dark e'er greet thine eyes. 
 
 ihe moaning wind and hissing wave, 
 
 Of spectres dread the hoHow groans 
 
 That echo as o'er nature's grave, 
 
 Of Goblins fell the dismal tones, 
 
 TI.e whirlii)g demon-pool that yawns [*]

 the waters tf the Ottawa are seen to rush without any visible outlet!

 Ayo thirstiuL', panting for its prey. — 
 
 1 liat Stygiiiu tide o'er which no'ur dawns 
 
 The cheering h'ght of rising clay : — 
 
 What awful sounds thine ears assail, 
 
 O, genius of the forest land ! 
 
 Ko nvarvel if thy solemn wail 
 
 Thine Ottawa's echoes all command ! 
 
 Yet cheer thee, solitary Sprite ! 
 
 An aged Chief, in council sage, 
 
 Thine eyr s shall see. Ere dawning light, 
 
 Each warrior shall his care engage 
 
 O'er hardiest hravrs that long has borne, 
 
 In forests wild, unquestioned sway, 
 
 From ManitouHn's woods unshorn, 
 
 To billows of the '' Salt Lake " spray. 
 
 Ah ! hope not that the weary sprite 
 
 In sagest council shall delight, 
 
 Lo ! promptly round the Chieftain strong, 
 
 Crowd counsellors, a motley throng, 
 
 Each passion o'er his dauntless son], 
 
Claims for itself unique control, 
 First envy seek^ her empire tosocuro, 
 "Divide and Rule," have sages said. 
 This maxim envy plies — her task is sute, 
 Dissension o'er the wigwam's spread. 
 
 Ambition next her towering head uproars. 
 Mad faction tears the grave Divan : 
 Considerate counsel there no more a])pears, 
 Each growling party for its man. 
 
 In anger frowns the Chief, from blood shot eyes 
 Fierce lightning's dart ; — the throng recoils ; 
 But wrathful soon, its anger's torrc^nts rise ; 
 The Council all with fury boils. 
 
 ^■'% 
 
 •' Revenge ! revenge ! the haughty Chieftains cry ; 
 " Revenge ! above the torrent's roar, 
 They louder yell ; 'tis watchword and reply ; 
 "Revenge ! " Revenge! " o'er Ottawa's shore.

 It conquered Saul • 
 
 And soothed his soul 
 
 When Hew the dart 
 In fury to the siiepherd's heart. 
 
 Soft pity to infuse, 
 
 Invoke the tuneful muse. 
 The Persian victor owned its power; 
 To sorrow moved, his fury o'er, 
 Stern fortune's fitful mood he mourned, 
 His burning ra2;c to sighs he turned, 
 And grieving o'er man's ills below, 
 The gushing ^ears began to flow.

 In holiest rapture's vein, 
 
 In harraony snblime, 
 
 Let both combine, 
 
 The spheres conjoin, 
 
 As echo to the cascade's chime 
 
 Thy tones, divinest maid, 
 
 That ''drew an angel down." 
 Or thine, upon the sounding lyre that made 
 Those master lays that mortals bore 
 
 In ecstacy to Heaven ! 
 
 In songs all new be given 
 
 Oh hill and plain, 
 
 Hope's cheering strain ! 
 
 L^, 
 
Lo, in ncstatic nioasuros, 
 
 Tells she of promidcd pleasures ! 
 
 Touched by her magic hand, tiio chords rosoutid ; 
 Louder and louder still .she pour.s alon;L,' 
 Her sweetest notes ; the caverns echo round ; 
 The charmed dryads, warble to the song ; 
 Earth's loveliest scenes the entrancing music hail. 
 And vocal are the woods, the hills, the vale. 
 Now, as her softest, holiest themes she chose. 
 Were heard responsive, murmuring at each close, 
 Celestial voices round the listonin" shore. 
 "Let joy prevail ! be hate and war no more." 
 The choral Naiads sang. The red man smiled, 
 His soul witli •li'oasure thrilled, and he threw down 
 His gory tomahawk ! No more defiled 
 Shall be his hand to seek in blood the victor crown.

 Bursts on his gladdened view,

 What rapture to his soul the scene ! 
 Is this the con(|uered red man's yoke 
 Free as the winds to roam through forests sroen { 
 
 'Tis even so. And thus 'twill ever be 
 80 long as o'er the heaving Ocean wave, 
 Britannia's flaor shall bravely float and free. 
 The favored Indian prays : "Our Mother save "

 O'er his altered lot, aye light, us the leaf

 In his native woods, 'mid th<' white men's homes. 
 
 Well may thy Genius, Canada, re j- ice, 
 
 Peace like to thine ne'er yet to men was known. 
 
 Still flows thy fortune's tide, thy noblest choice 
 
 Fair freedom still ; nor freedom's gift alone,

 The Nations meet thee with an e.pial soul ; 
 
 Their richest trade ships press around thy shores, 
 
 And far beyond the raging main's control, 
 
 The wealth of worlds out-pour in boundless stores. 
 
 "0, happiest lot!" the exultant Peri cries, 
 
 •« Lol more than e'er I dreamed, I now behold;

 O, blest the most of all beneath the skies ? 
 Peace, Freedom yours, and happiness untold ! 
 ! to the latest hour of changeful time 
 May gracious Heaven this era bright prolong I" 
 So prays the red man, too, unstained by crime ; 
 Ardent he prays, and thankful pours the song. 
 
 " Such tranquil days Gods only can bestow, 
 Thanks ever to the Christian's Manitou ! 
 Benign Victoria's rule dispels all fears, 
 Be ours tl.ua happiness to latest years ! 
 The Constitution Free our firmest stay, 
 Late may our Mother Great to realms of day 
 Honored leturn ; above her spirit llown, 
 Be Freedom, Peace and Plenty still our own, 
 Britannia's guardian mantle o'er us thrown !''
