by the mighty shades that dimly glide Where Victory beams upon the turf or tide, By those who sleep at Marathon in bliss, By those who fell at glorious Salamis, By every laurell'd brow and holy name, By every thought of freedom and of fame, By all ye bear, by all that ye have borne, The blow of anger, and the glance of scorn, The fruitless labour, and the broken rest, The bitter torture, and the bitterer jest, By your sweet infant's unvailing cry, Your sister's blush, your mother's stifled sigh..., By all the tears that ye have wept, and weep, — Break, Sons of Athens, break your weary sleep ! Yea, it is broken! — Hark, the sudden shock Rolls on from wave to wave, from rock to rock; I 114 1'IIIZE POEMS. Up, for the Cross and Freedom! far and near Forth starts the sword, and gleams the patriot spear, And bursts the echo of the battle song, Cheering and swift, the banded hosts along. On, Sons of Athens ! let your wrongs and woes Burnish the blades, and nerve the whistling bows; Green be the laurel, ever blest the meed Of him that shines to-day in martial deed, And sweet his sleep beneath the dewy sod, Who falls for fame, his country, and his God!
