IV

Part of Liberty

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.
