 To the watching Pilgrims came
 As they sat by the seaside, &@ And filled their hearts with
 flame. God said, I am tired of kings, suffer them no more; Up to my ear the morning brings The outrage of the poor. Think ye made this ball A field of havoc and war, Where tyrants great and tyrants small Might harry the weak and poor? My angel-his name is Freedom Choose him to be your king: He shall cut pathways east and west, And fend you with his wing. Lo! I uncover the land
 Which hid of old time in the West. As the sculptor uncovers the statue When he has wrought his best; show Columbia, of the rocks Which dip their foot in the seas, And soar to the air-borne fiocks Of clouds, and the boreal fleece. I will divide my goods;
 Call in the wretch and the slavel None shall rule but the humble, And none but Toil shall have. I will have never 6 noble, No lineage counted great; Fishers and choppers and plowmen Shall constitute the state. Go, cut down trees in the forest, And trim the straightest boughs; Gut down trees in the forest, And build me a wooden house. Call the people together.
 The young men and the sires, The digger in the harvest-fe1d, Hireling, and him that hires: And here in a pine state-house They shall choose men to rule In every needful faculty, Tn church and state and school.

 Can govern the land and sea, And make just laws below the sun. As planets faithful be. And ye shall succor men; 'Tis nobleness to serve; Help them who cannot help again; Beware from right to swerve. I break your bonds and masterships, And Iaunchain the slave: Free be his heart and hand henceforth, As wind and wandering wave. cause from every creature
 His proper good to flow; As much as he is and doeth,
 So much he shall bestow. But, laying hands on another
 To coin his labor and sweat, He goes in pawn to his victim
 For eternal years of debt. Today unbind the captive,
 So only are ye unbound; Lift up a people from the dust,
 Trump of their rescue, soundi Pay ransom to the owner,
 And fill the bag to the brirn. w WIlO IS LLl0 OWnGTs lIlG SlaV6 IS OWNeT, And ever was. Pay him. o North! give him beauty for rags, And honor, O Southl for his shame; Nevada! coin thy golden crags
 With Freedoms image and name. Upi and the dusky race
 That sat in darkness long, Be swift their feet as antelopes,
 And as behemoth strong. Come, East and West and North,
 By races, as snowfiakes, And carry my purpose forth, t Which neither halts nor shakes. My will fulfilled shall be,
 For, in daylight or in dark, My thunderbo1t has eyes to see
 His way home to the mark.
