Where heaves and pants a vast turmoil

Of down-trod noble souls;

This is the Germans’ Fatherland.

From Fiz. January 17, 1879.


Another Version.

What is the Briton’s Father-Land?

Is’t where unfinished Paul’s doth stand,

Is’t where Boyne William, stern, doth frown,

Or where Sir Walter, calm, sits down?
