From the sky to the earth, from the earth to the sea,
Hear the chorus re-echoed, "The people are free!"
[Original]
That old bell is still seen by the patriot's eye,
And he blesses it ever when journeying by:
Long years have passed over it, and yet every soul
Must thrill in the night to its deep, solemn roll;
For it speaks in its belfry when kissed by the blast,
