AMERICA AND THE KOSSUTH ERA

— Amerika és a Kossuth^korszak —

AMERICA’S WELCOME

WELCOME TO KOSSUTH

Welcome! welcome! gallant hero!

Honest hearts will meet thee here;

And the open arms of freedom

Shall defend and give thee cheer.

Here no Russian czar shall bind thee,

Here no prison walls enslave,

But the power of truth shall guard thee,

And our banners o’er thee wave.

Here shall woman, kind and gentle,

Always cheering on the brave,

Banish all thy thoughts of sadness,

As a calm subdues the wave.

Here shall men, both young and aged,

Meet thee while their hearts rejoice;

Here shall bright-eyed children listen,

While they hear thy manly voice.

Welcome! welcome! noble hero!

Honest hearts will meet thee here;

And the open arms of freedom

Shall defend and give thee cheer.

Worcester, Mass., Dec. 1851. C. Jillson

Prom: "Gleason’s Pictorial Drawing Room Companion.” Dec. 1851

AMERICA’S WELCOME TO KOSSUTH

Tune: “Rule Britannia.”

Hail Freedom’s prophet, priest, and chief —

The victim-leader of the opprest!

The land, the great birth-land of Washington,

Exults to greet her honored guest.

Chorus

God grant to thee to see- and to make thy country free,

O, noble heart of Hungary!
