William Wordsworth - Siege Of Vienna Raised By Jihn Sobieski
Work rating: Low

FEBRUARY 1816

OH, for a kindling touch from that pure flame
Which ministered, erewhile, to a sacrifice
Of gratitude, beneath Italian skies,
In words like these: `Up, Voice of song! proclaim
`Thy saintly rapture with celestial aim:
`For lo! the Imperial City stands released
`From bondage threatened by the embattled East,
`And Christendom respires; from guilt and shame
`Redeemed, from miserable fear set free
`By one day`s feat, one mighty victory.                     
`--Chant the Deliverer`s praise in every tongue!
`The cross shall spread, the crescent hath waxed dim;
`He conquering, as in joyful Heaven is sung,
`HE CONQUERING THROUGH GOD, AND GOD BY HIM.`
