Liberty

by Bradley Howey

Shadow, but absence of light-time.
Darkness, a stage for the dawn.
Freedom, but call to men’s heart-strings.
Liberty, easily gone.

When every mountain a teacher,
then every moment, a school.
When every wise man a pauper,
then every student, a fool.

When freedom’s cast, but a shadow,
then freedom’s ring, is but mute.
When freedom lasts not the hour,
then freedom’s champ’ion, a brute.

Here is my mountain, my teacher!
Here is my moment, my school!
Here, find the student, oh wisemen!
Here, find the pauper, oh fools.

Cast away e-very shadow!
Ring, ‘till the stone hears my cry!
Then freedom last through the ev’ning!
Then freedom’s champ’ion, am I!

Shadow, but absence of light-time.
Darkness, a stage for the dawn.
Freedom—the call makes my heart sing!
Liberty, once again: Won.
