10 FRrEDoss baltic Fought Is FKkEpoN wont
Thou Herelder on Freedoms watch tow'r say,
A proud thou look st upon its onward way.
What dost thou see What doth eseh pressgc bode,
For rising man, and brighrning truth and Con
For FREEpos's final fight is but begun.
H.
Thou pointest where the ouposts smoke and fame
Der "LESIsoros" and "BrSkkRs" famous "iiiLL,"
And tellst OF riumphinss that broadly swell
Across old Oceans waves, TO rouse each heart
In noblest chivalry to bear part,
And seek for Liberty through fire and gloom
I'LL
Esutinsy thou msrk'st the toesin word
kesounding through the shades OF moral night,
That calls tho struggling maintain their right,
That tells the iyrants with a voice OF wrath
Their stfiend knees must bend before the truth,
VI bow beneath the pioneering sword.
w.
The North has echoed the startling cry.
And soes a more than borcslc light
And, panoplied, prepares her for the fight
The noble South, for heroes born and bred.
Has drank new yisor from the mighty dead,
And swears for LisERry to live and die
V.
From out the wsst-where naked heathens sit
In gloom on Asiatie coast and isle,-
Through centuries Of glaom wish Tor rest
They've seen the rising that gds the Es.
Ger Freedoms birth, and come TO worship il!
VI.
Where human iends had ehsin'd in dungeon deep
The deaihless martyrs OF the heart and mind
As swell their songs and pray'rs upon the wind,
The freeing angel from high Heav'n hath come,
To burst their chains, their mission to resume
To help world arising from u sleep!
VII.
From SPsin's dark coasts where requiem pillows valid
The hidden sPeudor and perverted aim,
There springs a spreading cry for mightcr fame
The LAND FOUND from DER the Western sea
Shall glitter back the hfe-impsring ray,
And train her glorics TO the light reveard
VIII.
Where way'd the crescent flag, a sun instead
Shall shine from evry banner OF the brave
Der Freedoms living hopes DER Thraldom's grave
Where Superstition reard the funral pile
glowing PhGnix shall burst forth and smile,
breathing SAVIOUR from the moral dead
TX.
The sweating millions Of old Bntain's coast
Arise Is from the long forgot dead,
For daily liberty and daily bread
And dare TO menace that the baublc crown
Shall molly with their chains be trampled down,
And seePtres mid the ruins all be lost!
Y.
Proud France with added wisdom from the past,
Snail boldly strike, but not once in vain,
For fierce, and only madden'd by her pain,
She'll burst each barrier from the tottring throne,
And, sending tyrants whore their slaves have gone
Shall spill her noblesI blood, but spill the last.
NJ.
The CATERING hosts some mystic voice obey,
voice the deathless mind only hear
They feel moral resurrection near
Some strange impulse TO gather round and see
The wonders OF this modern CALVARY
And, heart TO heart, TO roll away the stone
That tyrants hew'd TO sepulehre the soul,
And bid the pris'ner leap into the day.
XII
1t must be so Fair Freedom hurld
To dust, must rise TO pure primeval might,
And give to man his long neglected right
For Con has said, and man has learn'd he same
She must ascend the mount from whence she came,
And wave her banner Ger rising world
