Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDF GHGHIJIJ KLKMNONO| Weep on weep on your hour is past | A |
| Your dreams of pride are o'er | B |
| The fatal chain is round you cast | A |
| And you are men no more | C |
| In vain the hero's heart hath bled | D |
| The sage's tongue hath warn'd in vain | E |
| Oh Freedom once thy flame hath fled | D |
| It never lights again | F |
| - | |
| Weep on perhaps in after days | G |
| They'll learn to love your name | H |
| When many a deed may wake in praise | G |
| That long hath slept in blame | H |
| And when they tread the ruin'd isle | I |
| Where rest at length the lord and slave | J |
| They'll wondering ask how hands so vile | I |
| Could conquer hearts so brave | J |
| - | |
| 'Twas fate they'll say a wayward fate | K |
| Your web of discord wove | L |
| And while your tyrants join'd in hate | K |
| You never join'd in love | M |
| But hearts fell off that ought to twine | N |
| And man profaned what God had given | O |
| Till some were heard to curse the shrine | N |
| Where others knelt in heaven | O |
