VISION OF THE HEROES OF POLAND
57
Kosciusko tranquillyAnd Poniatowski lowly lie,And Sobieski seeks his restIn the earth's untroubled breast.
Freedom's Goddess, mid the blazeOf the bright sun's flashing raysStands, and o'er her vibratingThe white eagle waves his wing.
Gazing on the azure skyThe nations shout in ecstacy,—While weep with joy the Polish bandIn their own free fatherland.
