TESTVÉRISÉG 15 II. High praise to thee! all honor, that thou holdest Such noble views of human liberty! All honor to the influence that nioldeth The Nations mind to Patriot sympathy! And thine the Patriot’s need, O country-server! Thy great heart filled with the pure love of Truth! Whose words of passionate, prophetic fervor, Inflame the heart, exalt the tone of Youth! Oh! Man sublime, and true! thy country’s wrongs Have brought forth Thoughts that never can die! Profound Ideas of loftiest liberty! Kossuth! thy Prophet—spoken truths unto Earth’s millions given, By Angels retranscribed, shall live for aye in Heaven! Jan. 27th, 1852. Mrs. E. J. Eames. * Prom: “The New York Tribune” March 5th, 1852. ODE TO KOSSUTH Tremble, ye haughty sceptered ones, For in resistless might The oppress’d shall rise, and the proud foe Your hosts will put to flight. Hasten ye, haste, sweet liberty! And give thy rule to Hungary! God of the patriot! to thee Our prayer ascend. O guide Downtrodden, bleeding Hungary, And him, his country’s pride. ’Tis Kossuth calls thee — Liberty! — To his beloved Hungary! The captive shall again be free, Nor feel the tyrant’s dart, Exiles return from distant realms, And joy lights up each heart. Descend from Heaven, sweet liberty! And give thy rule to Hungary! How many patriot fathers fell America for thee! They counted not their life-blood To make thee great and free. Heaven-born goddess Liberty, O spread thy wings o’er Hungary. Paul Abadie. From: The Fireman and Other Foems. 1852.
