The Wife OF Kossuth.
by THOMAS 8. DoNoHo.


The World hath men it doth not truly know;
The World doth often give the doom of foe
Even to its fondest friend
Chains bind the arms, and cruel tortures rend
The very heartstrings-th were neryed to save
Liberty, Virtue, from the yawning grave!
'Tis sad to read the story,
Throughout all time, how Wrong hath murdered Glory
H..
When, far away in fair Hungarias land,
KossUTH stood foremost of small brave band,
For Freedom, Acknowledged
The first and still best gift to all mankind
Sweet was the oratory; yet received
Only by few the flame,
While many, as they came,
Went back, and muttered: 'WE have not believed!
Then yet once more ereturned--repentantl no!
Freedoms Apostle was dangerous foe!
"Bear him to prison!" And he bowed his head,
Ills heart unbowed,
And silent, through the mocking crowd,
Moved on, with pensive, melancholy tread.
Ill.
An angel came unto him! What is love .. Il.
Less than starry spirit from abovey
The smile of WOMAN cheered his prson-cell,
The voice of WOMAN whispered: IIope 'Tis wellr'
1t was! The hcros soul grew daily strongerl
The time Of darkness gave him nobler light!
Whatever dread the past had known--no longer
Dared now oppose his might
1t was! The left the massive walls Of gloom
For WoMAN's palace-heart!
Bright home, out-rivaling the scuptors art
All beauty-bliss-and breathing Eden boom'
'TcaS well lie fought his Nations claim
Freedom proud to her flag unfurled!
lie ought-and though he lost his patriot elm
He WON THE WoRLDl
