Poem by Phillis Wheatley
Celestial choir! enthronâd in realms of light,
Columbiaâs scenes of glorious toils I write.
While freedomâs cause her anxious breast alarms,
She flashes dreadful in refulgent arms.
See mother earth her offspringâs fate bemoan,
And nations gaze at scenes before unknown!
See the bright beams of heavenâs revolving light
Involved in sorrows and the veil of night!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Enough thou knowâst them in the fields of fight.
Thee, first in place and honours,âwe demand
The grace and glory of thy martial band.
Famâd for thy valour, for thy virtues more,
Hear every tongue thy guardian aid implore!
One century scarce performâd its destined round,
When Gallic powers Columbiaâs fury found;
And so may you, whoever dares disgrace
The land of freedomâs heaven-defended race!
Fixâd are the eyes of nations on the scales,
For in their hopes Columbiaâs arm prevails.
Anon Britannia droops the pensive head,
While round increase the rising hills of dead.
Ah! cruel blindness to Columbiaâs state!
Lament thy thirst of boundless power too late.
Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side,
Thy evâry action let the goddess guide.
A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine,
With gold unfading, Washington! be thine
