TESTVÉRISÉG 15 The wolf’s long howl behind the bondman’s flight! O for the tongue of him who lies at rest In Quincy’s shade of patrimonial trees, — Last of the puritan tribunes and the best, — To lend a voice to Freedom’s sympathies, And hail the coming of the noblest quest The Old World’s wrong has given the New World of the West! John Greenlief Whittier. From: The Poetical Works of John (Greenleaf) Whittier Boston, 1870. In the “National Era”, Washington D. C., December 4th, 1851. ENGLAND’S WELCOME WELCOME TO KOSSUTH written for the Kossuth Banquet and intended to be sung by The Whole Company Standing. Air: National Anthem. Illustrious Patriot, Hail! Most noble Kossuth, Hail! We welcome thee! Tyrants would exile thee, Brave Son of Libery, But God has rescued thee, And thou art free! Immortal by thy fame, Honours attend thy name, While despots fall! Thy self-devoting wife, Thy children dear as life, Saved ’mid thv Country’s strife, God bless them all! Soon may thy Fatherland, Wrested from tyrant’s hand, Again be free! Truth, Justice, Liberty, Peace and Prosperity, Reigning triumphantly, May thine eyes see! Where’er thy home may be, Far distant o’er the sea, We’ll think of thee! And thou wilt not forget The friends whose hearts were set, When in this Hall they met, To honour thee! Alfred Lawden Reprinted from “The Birmingham Journal.” September 6, 1851.
