  By Blue Ontario's Shore(1)

  By blue Ontario's shore,

  As I mused of these warlike days and of peace return'd, and

  the dead that return no more,

  A Phantom gigantic superb, with stern visage accosted me,

  Chant me the poem, it said, that comes from the soul of

  America, chant me the carol of victory,

  And strike up the marches of Libertad, marches more powerful

  yet,

  And sing me before you go the song of the throes of

  Democracy.

  (Democracy, the destin'd conqueror, yet treacherous

  lipsmiles everywhere,

  And death and infidelity at every step.)

1598
