In the ever-changing cycle;

Bear, ye echoes, to our patriots,

Waft, ye breezes, our sad parting.

CANTO IX.
1847-1861.
PROGRESS.

Now we come to architecture,

In the annals of the city;

Now the spirit of improvement

Makes a giant-stride among us,

Opens wide her money-coffers,

In the growing, hillside city.
