Excerpt from The Lay of Gratitude: Consisting of Poems Occasioned by the Recent Visit of Lafayette to the United StatesWhen the tempest of Tyranny hung on our shore, And the peals of its vengeance our continent shook; When the white robes of Freedom were dripping with gore, And she drooped as though H0pe had her bosom' forsook Thy gallant young heart, with an ardour divine, A devotion as pure as e'er hallowed the soul, Vowed to yield the last throb of its pulse at her shrine.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
