o. LIBERTY I wait thee
To break this chain and duDgeonbar,

Deep in the frozen North afar,
With voice like DDS and visage like a star
Long Graded by the mounfain.wind.
Thy mate the eagle and the storm.

The wreath that gives IT starry form,
And slnc the Strength that would thy strength deorm
Yet Liberty thy dawnng light
Obscured by dungeon-bars. shall cast

And tyrants, flying pale and fast
Shall iremb.e at thy gaze and stand aghast
Written while in prison. waiting his execution at Havana
