 | The miscellaneous works of David Humphreys |  |
But let us turn from objects that disgust,
The ghosts of empires and of men accurst:
Turn we from sights that pain the feeling breast,
To where new nations populate the west:
For there, anon, shall new auroras rise,
And, streaming, brighten up th' Atlantic skies;
Back on the solar path, with living ray,
Heav'n's own pure splendours pour a tide of day.

And, streaming, brighten up th' Atlantic skies;

Heav'n's own pure splendours pour a tide of day.
