The voice of the Russias has spoken;
Each serf in the Russias is free!
Ring, bells, on the Neva and Volga,
Ring, bells, on the Caspian Sea!

More quotes by Hezekiah Butterworth
Imagination makes poems; devotion makes hymns. There can be poetry without emotion, but a hymn never.
Reads again the words puissant, "All men are created free,"
Claims again for man his birthright, claims the world's equality.
One taper lights a thousand,
Yet shines as it has shone;
And the humblest light may kindle
A brighter than its own.
Between a man of peace and war.
Lovely land of Palestina! he thy shores will never see,
But, his dream fulfilled, he follows Him who walked in Galilee.
The war's red flames,
Charging Tarleton, proud Cornwallis, navies moving on the James.
