THE

POETICAL ALBUM.

THE CONFLAGRATION OF MOSCOW.

BY THE REV. C. C. COLTON.

HER royal nest the Russian eagle fires,
And to the wild recess-revenged-retires;

Her talons unexpended lightnings arm,

And high resentments all her courage warm.

Tempt not, thou fiend of France! her arduous track;
Ambition spurs thee on -defeat shall goad thee back.
False friends in rear, in front a stubborn foe,
Thy caterer, famine,- and thy couch the snow:
Then view that fiery cope with ghastly smile,
'Tis thy ambition's grand funereal pile.

Blaze on, ye gilded domes, and turrets high,
And like a furnace glow, thou trembling sky!
Be lakes of fire the tyrant's sole domain,
And let that fiend o'er flames and ruins reign;
Doomed like the Rebel Angel, to be shown
A fiery dungeon, where he hoped a throne.
Blaze on! thou costliest, proudest sacrifice,

E'er lit by patriot hands, or fanned by patriot's sighs.
