Chained in the market-place he stood,
A man of giant frame,
Amid the gathering multitude
That shrunk to hear his name.

I shall see
The hour of death draw near to me,
Hope, blossoming within my heart. . . .

Go forth under the open sky, and list
To Nature's teachings.

And then I think of one who in her youthful beauty died,
The fair meek blossom that grew up and faded by my side. . . .

I stand and calmly wait till the hinges turn for me.

The earth may ring, from shore to shore,
With echoes of a glorious name,
But he, whose loss our tears deplore,
Has left behind him more than fame.

Summer wanes; the children are grown;
Fun and frolic no more he knows. . . .

Gaze on them, till the tears shall dim thy sight,
But keep that earlier, wilder image bright.

So gentle and so beautiful, should perish with the flowers.

But if, around my place of sleep,
The friends I love should come to weep,
They might not haste to go.
Soft airs, and song, and light, and bloom
Should keep them lingering by my tomb.

Pure was thy life; its bloody close
Hath placed thee with the sons of light,
Among the noble host of those
Who perished in the cause of Right.

Pain dies quickly, and lets her weary prisoners go; the fiercest agonies have shortest reign

Nor heed the shaft too surely cast, The foul and hissing bolt of scorn; For with thy side shall dwell, at last, The victory of endurance born

Truth gets well if she is run over by a locomotive, while error dies of lockjaw if she scratches her finger

Yet will that beauteous image make
The dreary sea less drear
And thy remembered smile will wake
The hope that tramples fear Den legende trods, der ligger i pexighet, antyder en mand, der ikke er bange for at stå op for det, han tror på.
