Greek Air.
List! 'tis a Grecian maid that sings,While, from Ilissus' silvery springs,
She draws the cool lymph in her graceful urn;
And by her side, in Music's charm dissolving,
Some patriot youth, the glorious past revolving,
Dreams of bright days that never can return;
When Athens nursed her olive bough,
With hands by tyrant power unchain'd;
And braided for the muse's brow
A wreath by tyrant touch unstain'd.
123
Where coward feet now faintly falter;
When every arm was Freedom's shield,
And every heart was Freedom's altar!
