Freedom, as every schoolboy knows, br Once shrieked as Kosciusko fell; br On every wind, indeed, that blows br I hear her yell. br br She screams whenever monarchs meet, br And parliaments as well, br To bind the chains about her feet br And toll her knell. br br And when the sovereign people cast br The votes they cannot spell, br Upon the pestilential blast br Her clamors swell. br br For all to whom the power's given br To sway or to compel, br Among themselves apportion Heaven br And give her Hell. br br Blary O'Gary.
