Foolish tboaght Of feeble soul.
Keep slight thy tvinsling taper,
while the vhiriwind seeks IT'S goal
Hsyk from distant Eastern waters
To the farthess Western wave.
Cones the voice Of many slaoghters
Der the Euth's unclosing grave
Hank in seas Of China booming
How the loud artillery rosrs
Ard q thousand masts are looming
On La Piata's battered shores
Hwk the Kafir groans UNDECIDED,

And the Indian lance is needed
To defend the Afghan's land.

Columns march and squadrons wheei

Threats aud flames the French corvette
Ard the blackencd bodies harden,
Where the West it, wigwam set
Hs,k TO slaughters ruddy riot,
Where New.Zealsnd's mountains soar
And the gathering storms unquiet'
Over Madagascars shore.
Hark between the Grecian islands,
Speeds the aeet with captive crowds
Hayk along Albanian highlands,
Lie the dead in bloody shrouds
Haxk beneath Circsssia's mountains.
Nooch sports with Human Right,
Veins are torrents. hearts are fountains
For the streams OF Freedoms hight
Then exult with one another.

Little need afar to roam
Did your mild civilization
Look at bome-ay look at home

Where Siciiias crowned hyana
Reigns to trample, lives 10 slay
Huk, In Spain the armies gather,
Myriads fell where myriads fall
In the Astuias stormy weather,
Treason in the Capital.
Harkl Oportos lines are tinted
Red with sally and assault
And the fields of fight are stinted
But 70 fill the prlson'vaut'
Hukl The Swiss to battle sounding,
Clans on clans defying call
Mid the bayonets all surrounding
OF the Austrian and the Gaul.
Huk the msson's horrid clangor
Piles the fort round Paris streets,
To defy nations anger
At a crowned imposters cheats
All thy cannon will be wanted
When thy withered pulses cease,
For Thy death.bed will be haunted,
Thou Napoleon Of Peace

Comes a challenge i'll repressed
Where's thy honor poor pretender'
Shame Republic Of the West.
Talk no more Of Freedoms glory,

Lords Of land and lords Of trade,
etaggsr meath the vast reaction
OF the ruin they have made
Hark the poor are starving daily
Gold 10 jingling bayonets clsnk,
Hark the great are living gaily,
And Conceptions smelling rank.
But the sands Of Time are RAINING.
Ever hope. and never fear
Oh the Peoples hour is coming

Then exult with one another.
Then shall wrong and bloodshed cease
Man in man respect brother,
And the world be won for peace.
