sFRANCE Is FREE ~


BY THOMAS BUCHANAN READ.
A great voice wakes foreign land,
And mighty murmur sweeps the sea,
While nations, dumb with wonder stand,
To note what it may be;-
The world rolls on like hurricanes breath,
Down with the tyrant,--come life or death,
France must be free!'
"Upharsin'' is writ on the Orleans wall,
And it needs no prophet toread the word
The King has flown from his palace hall,
And there the mob is heard!
They shout in the heat of their maddened gee;-
(What sound can compare with a nations cry
When it leaps from bondage to hbertyD
The voice sweeps on like hurricanes breath,
And the wondering world hears what it saith,
France, France is free."
The rough shod foot of the people tramps
Through the silken rooms of royalty,
And over the floor the mirrors and lamps
Lie like the shattered monarchy.
They have grasped the throne in their irony,
And have borne il aloft in mockery;
But as 1.-THE ghost Of king might be
Still welding a shadowy sceptre there,
They dash it 10 earth, and trample it down,
Shiyered to dust, with the Orleans crown,
And shouts with voice that rends-the air,
France, France is free,F
Obi to the world. the hour is come,
When the nations to freedom awake.
When the royAlists stand agape and dumb,
And monarshs with terror shake.
Over the walls of majesty
sUpharsinn is writ in words offire,
And the eyes of the hondmen, wherever they be
Are lit with their Wild desire.
Soon, soon, shall the thrones that blot the world
Like the Orleans, into the dust be hurled,
And the word rolled on, like hurricane breath
Till the farthest slave hears what it saith,
"Arise, arise, be free 81

carry him.
