Switzerland

Thank heaven! Again I tread a social land
Where liberty is not an outlawed word
Bent down awhile, again erect I stand
And visit with my curse that spirit abhored
(No! not my curse, – my pity!) which unmanned
Trembles & crouches to a despots sword
And wears a deep – an everlasting brand
To please some insolent, usurping lord!

And man was made for this? – & this fair earth
Given by its maker unto hands souls so vile
That they have made it hell: Take heart awhile
There is one spot for freedom & for worth –
I put the grasping of thy cordial hand
And send thy greetings back, my Switzerland!
