THE

Barp of Sion,

A COLLECTION OF

OF POEMS, &c.

BY JOHN LYON.

WITH NOTES, AND A STEEL PORTRAIT OF THE AUTHOR.

"Could I embody and unbosom now,

That which is most within me,-could I wreak
My thoughts upon expression, and thus throw

Soul, heart, mind, passions, feelings, strong or weak,

All that I would have sought, and all I seek,

Hear, know, feel, and yet breathe-into one Word,
And that one word were lightning-I would speak."
