lirik lagu richard mitchley - stanzas for the first of august by james monroe whitfield
from bright west indies’ sunny seas
comes, borne upon the balmy breeze
the joyous shout, the gladsome tone
long in those bl~~dy isles unknown;
bearing across the heaving wave
the song of the unfettered slave
no charging squadrons shook the ground
when freedom here her claims obtained;
no cannon, with tremendous sound
the n0ble patriot’s cause maintained:
no furious battle~charger neighed
no brother fell by brother’s blade
none of those desperate scenes of strife
which mark the warrior’s proud career
the awful waste of human life
have ever been enacted here;
but truth and justice spoke from heaven
and slavery’s galling chain was riven
‘t was moral force which broke the chain
that bound eight hundred thousand men;
and when we see it snapped in twain
shall we not join in praises then? —
and prayers unto almighty god
who smote to earth the tyrant’s rod?
and from those islands of the sea
the scenes of blood and crime and wrong
the glorious anthem of the free
now swells in mighty chorus strong;
telling th’ oppressed, where’er they roam
those islands now are freedom’s home
