Liberty.

1.     The fiery mountains answer each other;     Their thunderings are echoed from zone to zone;     The tempestuous oceans awake one another,     And the ice-rocks are shaken round Winter's throne,     When the clarion of the Typhoon is blown.     2.     From a single cloud the lightening flashes,     Whilst a thousand isles are illumined around,     Earthquake is trampling one city to ashes,     An hundred are shuddering and tottering; the sound     Is bellowing underground.     3.     But keener thy gaze than the lightening's glare,     And swifter thy step than the earthquake's tramp;     Thou deafenest the rage of the ocean; thy stare     Makes blind the volcanoes; the sun's bright lamp     To thine is a fen-fire damp.     4.     From billow and mountain and exhalation     The sunlight is darted through vapour and blast;     From spirit to spirit, from nation to nation,     From city to hamlet thy dawning is cast, -     And tyrants and slaves are like shadows of night     In the van of the morning light.
