IV.

"But I shall see the day--it will come before I die--

I shall see it in my silver hairs, and with an age-dimmed eye;--

When the spirit of the land to liberty shall bound,

As yonder fountain leaps away from the darkness of the ground:

And to my mountain cell, the voices of the free

Shall rise, as from the beaten shore the thunders of the sea."
