The Morning Star

0 Star of Liberty, arise! In SDlendor beam upon our sight, Before all mankind's blood-dimmed eyes ■ , Fling forth thy oriflamme of light. The way is dark, and we would see Thy light to march by, Liberty! On paths nf blood our fathers strode; Thy prophets and thy pilgrims died; ,Yet oft-times on their rugged road They caught some fitful beams and eried — "Lighten our darkness! Let us see Thy light in full, 0 Liberty!" We, too, have trod the miry way, And sought thee through war's crimson flood; False prophets led our feet astray; iMonarchs and priests thy sway withstood. Now perish all who shroud thy light! Shine forth, and end war's bloody night. It is not for ourselves alone "We ask the boon; let all men see Thy glory; still the anguished moan Of captive peoples—set them free. Blaze forth. 0 Star! Let bloodshed cease; Cladden all mankind with thy peace. G, 3. HINDS in London "Call."
