[38] Its life, its soul, from slavery drawn!
False, foul, profane! Go, teach as well
Of holy Truth from Falsehood born!
Of Heaven refreshed by airs from Hell!
Of Virtue in the arms of Vice!

From our Green Mountains to the sea,
One voice shall thunder, We are free!
Boston and New York, Houghton, Mifflin and company, 1888-89.
