v BURMAN EMPIRE. 75
I've wandered 'midst thy gloomy wilds, thy jungles dark among,
Which the feathered race of every hue enliven with their song:
But the spotted snake lies there concealed, which shuns the face of day,
And tigers fierce are lurking there, and hung'ring for their prey.
I've seen thy fairest palaces, thy richly sculptured fanes.
Where ignorance holds sovereign sway, and superstition reigns:
Which lead the widow to the pile, and drown the aged sire,
And consign the helpless infant to the all-devouring fire.
'Midst thy brightest scenes I long have pined to view my native home,
To my father-land my longing eyes have never ceased to roam:
'Tis with gladness then I leave thee, and thee again I tell,
India farewell—and if it be for ever, fare thee well!
END OF PART I.
