And of a land of freedom tellest.
“Star of the North! while blazing day
Pours round me its full tide of light,
And hides thy pale but faithful ray,
I, too, lie hid, and long for night:
For night: I dare not walk at noon,
Nor dare I trust the faithless moon—
“Nor faithless man, whose burning lust
For gold hath riveted my chain,—
Nor other leader can I trust
