ON LIBERTY AND SLAVERY.
Alas ! and am I born for this, To wear this slavish chain 1 Deprived of all created bliss, Through hardship, toil and pain !
How loner have I in bondage lain, And languished to be free ! Alas ! and must I still complain Deprived of liberty.
Oh, Heaven ! and is there no relief This side the silent grave To soothe the pain to quell the grief And anguish of a slave 1 Come Liberty, thou cheerful sound, Roll through my ravished ears !
Come, let my grief in joys be drowned, An...d drive away my fears.
Say unto foul oppression, Cease : Ye tyrants rage no more, And let the joyful trump of peace, Now bid the vassal soar.
Soar on the mnions of that dove Which long- has cooed for thee, And breathed her notes from Afric's grove, The sound of Liberty.
Oh, Liberty ! thou golden prize, So often sought by blood We crave thy sacred sun to rise, The gift of nature's God !
Bid Slavery hide her haggard face, And barbarism fly : I scorn to see the sad disgrace In which enslaved I lie.
