LIBERTY.
Thy birthplace where, young Liberty?
In graves, 'mid heroes' ashes.
Thy dwelling, where, sweet Liberty?
In hearts, where free blood dashes.
In graves, 'mid heroes' ashes.
Thy dwelling, where, sweet Liberty?
In hearts, where free blood dashes.
Thy best hope where, dear Liberty?
In fast upwinging time.
Thy first strength where, proud Liberty?
In thine oppressor's crime.
In fast upwinging time.
Thy first strength where, proud Liberty?
In thine oppressor's crime.
Thy safety where, stray Liberty?
In lands where discords cease.
Thy glory where, bright Liberty?
In universal Peace.
In lands where discords cease.
Thy glory where, bright Liberty?
In universal Peace.
