Back DER a hundred years, forever down,
And this latest ages threshold leaps

Announced the new born intellectual DAY.
Back to tbs, cradle where she poet lay
Wrapped IN the ideal glow Of the young ers's dream

Needs fear dssg-r's geanl nor dungeons Siocmi
The spirit that for coming ages lives,
Nor walls Of stone nor iron bars euiomo
One freeman stood up In The century!
Whose breast Phillips bullet well could braves
Fsin would he have recalled him from the grave.
No grave cen hold the whose soul Ia free.
But when this worlds ambition blears mans eyes,
When. mad with greed Of gain or gory, he

Which in the soul awoke such holy flame.

That the true heart, .ransfsured though n break,
May TO the loved heart keep eternal faith
Tho stars tina, you shine, and though to death
They hight you your way fAe stars no is'ehood SPEAK
While love ennoble,, harows, purihes
While yet hearts mutual love shall SHARE
30 long shall hearts thus bound with hottest ties,
By Mars and by ThskIa's memory swear
So long as Freedom, speaks With magic tona
And Fstherlsnd no empty shall seen,
The halo Ike the Maidens brow shall zesmi

Where thrOngs of every blood and every tonsns,
But high Ger all the German key note supE-

Only too worthy but Of us-sh, who

A draw tha, sugur brow, feel
Its folds contracted to anry rowu;
The bust, in wounded majesty looks down.
And thus the curling lips offended pride reveali
Because ye speak the language graced by me,
Deemed ye. fcrsooth that ye might therefore chirt

To see yourselves reflected in my fame
Was there ether idol to be found.

And where We heard the snap Of Slaycry's lash,
Ye should sytnEe tie shame done to Humanity
And where TIE rabbl's frenzy thrsateaed loud,
Strong in conviction We should dde your timei
And where ye saw mans neck to yI.oess Bowed.
