Rudyard Kipling - The Greek National AnthemRudyard Kipling - The Greek National Anthem
Work rating: Low


We knew thee of old,  Oh divinely restored, By the light of thine eyes  And the light of thy Sword. From the graves of our slain  Shall thy valour prevail As we greet thee again  Hail, Liberty! Hail! Long time didst thou dwell  Mid the peoples that mourn, Awaiting some voice  That should bid thee return. Ah, slow broke that day  And no man dared call, For the shadow of tyranny  Lay over all: And we saw thee sad-eyed,  The tears on thy cheeks While thy raiment was dyed  In the blood of the Greeks. Yet, behold now thy sons  With impetuous breath Go forth to the fight  Seeking Freedom or Death. From the graves of our slain  Shall thy valour prevail As we greet thee again  Hail, Liberty! Hail!
