With a holy love I felt her like a passion in my brain, And laboured for her freedom from his gripe Remorseless, like the Arch-Fiend's on a soul Innocent, beauteous, young, but weak and frail ; I lost — he conquered — chained me — I am here ; — •0 God eternal, free my much-wronged land ! God of the warriors of Arpad, look Upon thy servant, from thy throne of stars, Who humbly owns the omnipotence ol thy love : And, as I died for mine own noble land TABTABUS OF ll. \: 139 By raci and steel, have... mercy on me, God, Whose sun is radiant o'er the earth that holds The bones of my heroic brethren fallen In fight for Hungary. The blue heavi n i arc smiling Above the fields red with the sacred blood Of us and of our fathers ; send, Lord, Thy genial rays, that flowers divine may spring From that all-hallowed stream, too grand to flow In mere corruption. Holy drops like these Sanctify earth, and purge it of all sin; — God, great Father of my father, God Of Heaven, of Earth, and of the Sea, I ask Thee Mercy for thy frail servant in the flesh; But, oh, whate'er the fate ordained for mc, Shower down thy light upon my land beloved, That she may rise and take her stand once more, A Queen amid the nations of the world !
