[117] Ye deal is felt the wide earth through;
Whatever here uplifts the low
Or humbles Freedom's hateful foe,
Blesses the Old World through the New.
Take heart! The promised hour draws near;
I hear the downward beat of wings,
And Freedom's trumpet sounding clear:
“Joy to the people! woe and fear
To new-world tyrants, old-world kings!”
Boston and New York, Houghton, Mifflin and company, 1888-89.
