THE HUNGARIAN'S ADIEU. 
Farewell, O my country! I leave thee in danger, 
Yet not from the feir of the Austrian’s sword; 
>Tis not that I dread the control of the stranger, 
Nor shrink at th i force of his merciless horde! 
I fly from thy valleys, where, mingled in slaughter, 
The bones of thy bravest have bleached in the sun; 
Their blood has flowed free as the Danube's dark water; 
They fell on the field which their valor had won! 
Farewell, dearest land, to thy sweet sunny fountains; 
Farewell to my pleasures—farewell to my fears; 
A vengeance ere long shall descend from thy mountains, 
An arm shall be raised fora n .tion in tears! 
Farewell to thee now—with the warmest devotion 
I gaze on thy hills as they fade in the sky; 
My path is afar on the desert-like ocean; 
I go to return, for thy freedom is nigh! 
Farewell, O my country, I leave thee in sorrow, 
Thy right arm is fettered, thy foot is enchained; 
But wo to the tyrant—thy sons on the morrow, 
Shall burst from their bonds like a torrent restrained! 
The God of the Magyar—to him I commend thee, 
O land of misfortune— O home of the brave! 
Ilis—His is the arm that alone can defend thee, 
And Faith is a lamp at the gates of the grave!
