And where is lofty Babel's pyre, Peering in eastern skies ? E 66 And where Assyria, famed of old ? That great but wicked nation ; Along whose streets the prophet told, Its dread denunciation. And Egypt where? where first the light Of science gleam' d obscure? And as in dark oblivion's spite, Rear'd the stupendous tower. Greece ! where is thy arcadian bower, Where Art and Science dwelt? Where is the sumptuous Persian power, And he Heav'n's vengeance dealt ? And Alexander, who unfurl'd Boundless ...power's pennon, now? While the laurels of a conquer'd world, Wreath'd his ambitious brow. O Rome ! and tarnish'd is thy glory ! Has genius fled the scene ?, Still sculptured fragments tell the story * Of much that thou hast been. The weed has round thy relics clung, And ages o'er thee swept, And Time her awful requiem sung, And many a spirit wept. America ! to thee, blest land, I turn, from empire's fall, . AMERICA. 67 O'er whom stern fate's imperious hand Has spread oblivion's pall. To thee, who phcsnix-like art merging, From many a nation's wreck : Like to the morning sun's bright verging, Or beams that night bedeck.
