10 THE SPikIT OF LIBERTY.
Spirit a cry from the earth
Has gone forth for thee
The throbbinss of woe and the ,hrilIings of mirth
Arc forgotten for thee!
Though the world is tceming with beautiful things,
with the star tha, shines and the bird that sings
In all that wandcrs or walks, wings
IT. way in the eaith or the sea,
UT the luminous folds of the silent sky,
There is beauty to feed the desire of the eye
10; sc PANT for thee!
Without thee, Spirit We feel
Forgotten aud lone.
Our hearts to thee are truo as the steel
TO the spirit that sways the stone.
Angel of Liberty fleet and fast,
Come down on the wings of the chartered blast
The dreams OF the dark and poisoned past
Will scatter and nee
And the reborn hearts Of repentant men
Meath tho breadth Of tiny Pnions will gather again
New pulses from thee!
Spirit walk over the west
To our island shore;
Wbero silence forever is Graded to rest
In the oceans roar!
Come, with thy train, DER the byalino sea,
From the homes aud the hills ofthe aud the Free
Where the demon srangled that warTed against thee
Come in thy silver car,
Bring with thee peace-Or hoarts may grieve-
More fair than the spirit that wanders
Is the western star
Spirit. five mighty voices
Remind us fthee--
My heart and the heart of the world rejoices
To behold their glee +
There when tongue of the thunder
nwakes the world with awe aud with wonder;
There - ono when tho tempest IL splitting asunder
The glass Of the
There is one ofthe forests and one of the fountains
And thought upon thee.
Some god ia the world has stirred;
We receive the sign
Was IL thine?
On the mountains abanner ia blazing afar,
IL glows like the light Of newborn star,
And summons the long tramplcd nations TO
For the rights of the fee.
, Tome, for to- long has the world beou eurst;
Great spirit! for thee.
