[89] Well — judge if Freedom's sacred sign
     Can moulder under ground,
With the march of a million men o'erhead,
     Their banners eagle-crowned?

From Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate,
     A shout goes right and left;
The aliens' dreamful watch is done--
     The sepulchre is cleft.

Weak hands! Heap clay on the Stars of God!
     They never shone before!
They rend the shroud, and they pierce the cloud;
     All hail, then, Thirty-Four!

--The Independent, June 14.
