名人诗歌|Sonnet To Liberty

Not that I love thy children， whose dull eyes

See nothing save their own unlovely woe^1，

Whose minds know nothing， nothing care to know， -

But that the roar of thy Democracies，

Thy reigns^{2 of Terror， thy great Anarchies，}

Mirror my wildest passions like the sea

And give my rage a brother -！ Liberty！

For this sake only do thy dissonant^{3 cries}

Delight my discreet^{4 soul， else might all kings}

By bloody^{5 knout or treacherous6 cannonades}

Rob nations of their rights inviolate⁷

And I remain unmoved - and yet， and yet，

These Christs that die upon the barricades^8，

God knows it I am with them， in some things.
