Some love to roam o’er the dark sea’s foam,
Where the shrill winds whistle free.
Legends of the Isles and Other Poems (1851)

Aid it, hopes of honest men!
Legends of the Isles and Other Poems (1851)
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.
Legends of the Isles and Other Poems (1851)
Old Tubal Cain was a man of might
In the days when earth was young.
Legends of the Isles and Other Poems (1851)
Cleon hath a million acres,— ne’er a one have I;
Cleon dwelleth in a palace, — in a cottage I.
Legends of the Isles and Other Poems (1851)
They may veil their eyes, but they cannot hide
The sun’s meridian glow;
The heel of a priest may tread thee down,
And a tyrant work thee woe:
But never a truth has been destroyed;
They may curse it, and call it crime;
Pervert and betray, or slander and slay
Its teachers for a time.
But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.
