To think of her it well were meet, We other freer lands; Beautiful and brave and sweet. With the gyves upon her bleeding feet, The manacles on her hands. Oh! shame that as a captive she, Whose sorrows scarcely cease, Should thus amongst the kingdoms be The land that knows not liberty, Nor little hope of peace. To heaven she lifts her weeping eyes, And of the earth asks grace ; Bs patient yet for heaven's replies, Since earth is only earthly wise, And turns aside her face!
