Transcription
Mother of heroes, hail!
What tonge can tell the tale;
What hand may paint the splendour of thy past?
Dazzled, my spirit drinks light from the bowl, and sinks
In awe of rapture and wonder at the vast
Host of the heroes and the kings
That now no sudden life from
their old slumber springs.
Long for their absence sad
May the land now be glad
