1825
I've heard despair upon the lips
Where the sweet of hope should be
As if a permanent eclipse
Could shroud the Sun of liberty
That sun still his glorious race
O'er freedom's opening spring he reigns
And tho' a cloud may his face
The cloud flits by – the Sun remains
If Europe, smitten by the blast
Of tyranny look sad & sure;
Tyrants shall fall – it may not last
It shall not – cannot last – even here:
But hurry o'er the Atlantic wave
And these polluted lands forget –
In freedom hast the good – the brave
And wreck her crowns for Lafayette.
