Plaudits replied, and from the distant shore

Mingled the wild wind’s sighs and sorrowing ocean’s roar.

Raise the voice, and swell the cry!

The cry of sweet Hibernia’s woe;

From Asia myriad tongues reply,

And Afric bears a burden low.

Hear the wind, and hear the wave!

That bear the stifled wail of Cypriote slave:

Mingled with vexed Bulgaria’s murmurs hoarse,

Plaints of the yet unburied corse,
