From North, tho' stormy winds may blow
To blast fair freedom, fragrant flower,
And urge the seas to overflow
The banks, that shield it from their power:
Yet, planted here by God's own hand,
Be not, dear fugitive, dismay'd,
The winds shall cease at his command,
The sea's proud waves shall soon be stay'd.
