Testi

O the sight entrancing,
When morning’s beam is glancing
O’er files array’d
With helm and blade,
And plumes in the gay wind dancing.
When hearts are all high beating,
And the trumpet’s voice repeating
That song whose breath
May lead to death,
But never to retreating.
Then if a cloud comes over
The brow of sire or lover,
Think ’tis the shade
By vict’ry made,
Whose wings right o’er us hover.
Yet ’tis not helm or feather
For ask yon despot whether
His plumèd bands
Could bring such hands
And hearts as ours together.
Leave pomps to those who need ’em,
Adorn but man with freedom,
And proud he braves
The gaudiest slaves
That crawl where monarchs lead ’em.
The sword may pierce the beaver,
Stone walls in time my sever,
’Tis mind alone,
Worth steel and stone,
That keeps men free for ever!
Written by: Moore, Thomas, [traditional]
