IF, when across the autumnal heaven,

The rude winds draw their restless shroud,
One glorious star to sight be given,
Now dim, now clear, an isle in deeps of cloud;
Watchmen on their lonely tower,

Shepherds by their mountain hold,
Wistful gazing hour by hour,

Trace it through the tempest's fold:

Even such, in records dark of care and crime,
Each in high Heaven's appointed time,

Bright names of Heroes glow, that gem the days of old.

The Star of our dark time, the man high-soul'd,
At whose undying orb the true and bold
May light their lamps with pure heroic flame?
Go ask of every gale that blows,

Of every wave that curls the main

Where at burning noon repose
Tigers by some Indian fane ;-
Where hoary cliffs of Lusitane,
