APOSTROPHE TO THE ISLAND OF CUBA.
BY MR. PERCIVAL, AN AMERICAN POET.
There is blood on thy desolate shore,
Thou island of plunder and slaves !
Thy billows are purpled with gore,
And murder has crimson'd illy waves ;
The vengeance of nations will come,
And wrath shall be rain'd on thy head,
And in terror thy voice shall be dumb,
NVhen they ask for thy brothers who bled.
Thy hand was not stirr'd when thy life-blood was spilt ;
And, therefore, that hand must partake in the guilt.
Thou art guilty or weak—and the rod
Should be wended from thy palsied hand ;
By the pirate thy green fields are trod,
And his steps have polluted thy land :
Unmov'd is thy heart, and thine eye,
When our dear ones are tortur'd and slain ;
But their blood with a terrible cry,
Calls on vengeance, anti calls not in vain ;
If Europe regard not—our land shall awake,
And thy walls and thy turrets shall tremble anti shake.
The voice of a world shall be heard,
And thy faith shall be tried by the call;
And that terrible voice shall be fear'd,
And obey'd—or the proud one shall fall.
Enough of our life has been shed
In watching and fighting for thee;
If thy foot linger still—on thy head
The guilt anti the vengeance shall be:
We have sworn that the spirit of Allen shall lead,
And our wrath shall not rest till we finish the deed.
