Freedom's Call

Far across the hills and dales,
Ringing o'er the rills and swales:
Ever nearer, ever louder;
Ever dearer, gaining power.
Drawing hearts and minds to one;
Once sounded out, and once begun
Men cannot fail to hear her calling-
Solders freed from fear of falling.

Calling, crying to her sons,
"All must fight till freedom's won."
Leading them to victory;
Leaving them with liberty.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical when I saw this newest poem was an acrostic. Previously, I've only been hit with the blocked restriction of the form which left me unmoved. However, to say yours is an exception is an understatement. The words flowed smoothly and rhymed so effortlessly that I finished reading delightfully impressed! Great work!
