Liberty.
We honor Liberty In name and tn form,
We set up her statues and sound her praises,
But we have not fully trusted her.
And with our growth so grow her demands.
Bho will havo no half service.
Liberty 1 It Is a word to conjure with,
Not to vex the ear in empty boastings.
For Liberty means Justice, and Justice is tbs
natural law—
The law of health and symmetry and strength
and fraternity.
As the sun la the lord of life, ns well as of light;
Ashia beams support all growth, supply all
motion
And call forth all the infinite diversities of be
ing anti beauty,
80 Is Liborty to mankind.
Liberty Is the source, the mother, the neces
sary condition.
She is to virtue what light is to color,
To wealth what sunshine is to grain,
To knowledge what eyeß are to sight.
She is the genius of invention, the brawn of
national strength.
Where Liberty rises, there virtue grows, wealth
increases, knowledge expands.
And the freer nation rises among her neigh
bors—taller and fairer.
Where Liberty sinks, there virtue fades, wealth
diminishes, knowledge is forgotten,
And empires once mighty become a helpless
prey to freer barbarians.

A hurry of hoofs In a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, n bulk in the dark,
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a
spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleot—
That was all, and yet through the gloom and
the light
The fate of a nation was riding that night,
And the spark struck out by that steed in his
flight
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
