THE HARP OF PITCAIRN. 355 
3. 
Ha ! that flash yon grove illuming, 
Long impervious to the sun ; 
Now the quick report comes booming 
Prom the ocean-rescued gun. 
4. 
List ! the bell is gaily ringing, t 
Where a white-robed * train is seen ! 
Now they all unite in singing 
God preserve our gracious Queen ! 
SONG OF THE PITCAIRN ISLANDERS, 
ON THE ANNIVERSARY OP THE BIRTHDAY OF QOEEN 
VICTORIA. 
1. 
The Queen ! the Queen ! our gracious Queen ! 
Come raise on high your voices, 
And let it by your smiles be seen, 
That every heart rejoices. 
Her natal day we'll celebrate 
With ardour and devotion, 
And Britain's festal emulate 
In the Pacific Ocean. 
2. 
Now let old England's flag be spread, 
That flag long famed in story ; 
And, as it waves above our head, 
We'll think upon its glory. 
Then fire the gun, the Bounty s gun, 
And set the bell a-ringing, 
And then, with hearts and voices one, 
We'll all unite in singing : 
In allusion to the Tappa-cloth drease3.
