Songs In The Masque Of Alfred: To Alfred Poem by James Thomson

Songs In The Masque Of Alfred: To Alfred

Rating: 2.8


First Spirit.
Hear, Alfred, father of the state,
Thy genius Heaven's high will declare!
What proves the hero truly great,
Is never, never to despair:
Is never to despair.

Second Spirit.
Thy hope awake, thy heart expand,
With all its vigour, all its fires.
Arise! and save a sinking land!
Thy country calls, and heaven inspires.

Both Spirits.
Earth calls, and Heaven inspires.
