When Freedom from her mountain

When Freedom from her mountain
height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe Of night
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its glorious dyes
The milky baldric of the skies
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streakings Of the morning light
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
