LIBERTY FOR ALL - ZaunköniG - 15.04.2022 LIBERTY FOR ALL. THEY tell me, LIBERTY ! that, in thy name, I may not plead for all the human race ; That some are born to bondage and disgrace, Some to a heritage of woe and shame, And some to power supreme, and glorious fame : With my whole soul, I spurn the doctrine base, And, as an equal brotherhood, embrace All people, and for all fair freedom claim ! Know this, O man ! whate'er thy earthly fate GOD NEVER MADE A TYRANT, NOR A SLAVE : Woe, then, to those who dare to desecrate His glorious image ! for to all HE gave Eternal rights, which none may violate ; And, by a mighty hand, th' oppressed HE yet shall save! . |
