THE AWAKENING OF FREEDOM, Is4s
THERE Il Calm which is not rest
There is Peace which IL not blest
such Calm, such Peace, was on the world
When FREEDon slept-her pennOn furleo-
Her name forgot, her votsries gone,
save in the radiant West alone
Where. glorious in each clustering star,
CoIUNBfA's banner waved aiar.
On EUROPE hung such silence deep
As brood. where heaviDg earthquakes sleep,
Broke but by bOding murmurs low
Pressze of storm and overthrow.
Twas then, U Rome thy classic ground
Heard the fret note Of Freedom sound,
And her glad anthem In the air
Was Mingled with the voice Of prayer
And VIVA Pro SoSol" came
From every heart with one acclaim
To nail the Sire who babe RoNE be
Once more the watch word Of the Free
And woke the spirit dead 50 long,
Within his sunny land Of song
swelled the exulting shout again
Along the Danube and the Seine,
And echo.ng la the North afar
Startled the Councils Of the Car
o tyrants ever slow 10 learn,
Could ye have seen or held Tor sugnt
The lesson that Pfus taught
Pe,chance fair Freedoms dswning ray
Had herslded = calmer day
Bat warning voice and danger near
The rnOnarchs held a. idle fear
Nor deemed that Europe could undo
The chsin they bound at Waterloo
TIL freemen stood once more srrayed
With tri color and bsrrcsde,
And Paris spoke that word Of fate
To royal ears, II is 700 iG,s!"
Then three short days--snd King and throne
And royal pageant all were gone
But three short mOnths--irOm sea 10 ses,
Awakened Italy is free
And save where COsssck hordes obey
The Northern Neros potent sway,
A spirit IL abroad that slumbered,
And lays o. kiDgly rule are numbered
England once mistress Of the sea
To rule this storm is not for thee
The Jewels Of thy crown are red
With blood in golden India shed,
Where guilty War in China made
Protection for unholy trade,
Or where the afghan mOuntaineer
Died for the land he priced 20 dear
Though Earth may never tell the crimes
Done In those desOlsted climes
Zach soul that persisted where ye trod
Is standing At the bar Of GoD.
Think too, upon the dread array
Before the Judgment seat 70 day
From Erin, struggling TO be free
so blessed by COP, so cursed by thee
Where the long contest handed down
Prom age 10 age, from sire 70 son,
Through centuries Of blood and Ill.,
Leaves the fair isle unconquered still
Where late dark Policy forbade
The hand of Famine 10 be stayed
Answer, ye great ones Of the land,
How will ye meet the accusing band
Who persisted while the golden grain
For you was gathered on their plain
But Erin on thy darkest nigh;
There IL glow OF dawning light,
And patriot hearts are throbbing high
For fatherand 20 do or die.
o should that family beaming ray
Once brighten into Freedoms day
How proudly In NATIONS smile,
The captive Of Bermuda's isle,
Crowned Ia his dearest hopes, shall stand
Within q liberated land
Restored 20 her whose woman's heart
Was neryed 20 such heroic part,
And hang bis FELoN's chain beside
The victor's laurelwreath OF pride
No brighter garland can we twine,
Liberty TO deck Thy shrine G. w.
