Freedom

More quotes by William Lisle Bowles

Go tell the Spartans, thou that passest by,
That here, obedient to their laws, we lie.

O harmony! thou tenderest nurse of pain,
If that thy note's sweet magic e'er can heal
Griefs which the patient spirit oft may feel,
Oh! let me listen to thy songs again;
Till memory her fairest tints shall bring;
Hope wake with brighter eye, and listening seem
With smiles to think on some delightful dream.
