FRANCE.

A POEM BY LANCELOT BOOTH. V. Unhappy France ! unhappy France ! What Poet's muse can paint One half the mis'ries that surround Such scenes as cause men faint ? Blood runs in streams ! the streets are red ! With wholesale murder rife! Flames leap on high ! screams rend the sky ! A dread—an awful strife ! And these are men— are Christian men,— "Who priests, nor guard, nor spare, Who tear like dogs their fellows' throats, Whose curses scent the air. »*** . * * * " Lo ! the poor Indian, whose untutored mind Sees God in clouds and hears him in the wind : His soul, proud science never taught to stray Far as the starry path, or milky way." A poet's soul out breath'd that hallow'd stave ; Kare truth apparent in each line it gave ! 0! how much more manly that" poor" Indian's mind More civilised, more kind than all his kind ! " Good will towards men," that was the angel cry ! Two thousand years have almost fleeted by! The angels bright who sang that heavenly song, Sad hide their heads amongst the vestal throng : Seraphic tears course from eyes that glance A holy pity on poor fallen France. tj:e end.
