Earth has lost a precious pearl,
Heaven has gained a star,
That shall ever sing and shine,
Till it quells this grief of mine
For my love.

...g beneath the wide world's might;
But their spark lies dead in thee,
Trampled out by Tyranny.
As the Norway woodman quells,
In the depth of piny dells,
One light flame among the brakes,
While the boundless forest shakes,
And its mighty trunks are torn
By the fire thus lowly born:

With a myriad tongues victoriously,
And sinks down in fear: so thou,
O Tyranny, beholdest n...Read more of this...

Who ne'er grows weary of her labor,
And ne'er destroys, though slow she forms;
Who, though but grains of sand she places
To swell eternity sublime,
Yet minutes, days, ay! years effaces
From the dread reckoning kept by Time!...Read more of this...

24 Her home is on the deep.
25 With thunders from her native oak
26 She quells the floods below,

28 When the stormy winds do blow,--
29 When the battle rages loud and long
30 And the stormy winds do blow.

33 Till danger's troubled night depart
