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,
