On the Prospect of Establishing a Pantisocracy in America

1. 1Whilst pale Anxiety, corrosive Care,
2. 2The tear of Woe, the gloom of sad Despair,
3. 3And deepen'd Anguish generous bosoms rend;--
4. 4Whilst patriot souls their country's fate lament;
5. 5Whilst mad with rage demoniac, foul intent,
6. 6Embattled legions Despots vainly send
7. 7To arrest the immortal mind's expanding ray
8. 8Of everlasting Truth;--I other climes
9. 9Where dawns, with hope serene, a brighter day
10. 10Than e'er saw Albion in her happiest times,
11. 11With mental eye exulting now explore,
12. 12And soon with kindred minds shall haste to enjoy
13. 13(Free from the ills which here our peace destroy)
14. 14Content and Bliss on Transatlantic shore.
