The mountains look on marathon – And marathon looks on the sea; And musing there an hour alone, I dream’d that greece might still be free; For standing on the persian’s grave, I could not deem myself a slave. Must we but weep o’er days more blest? Must we but blush? – our fathers bled. Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new thermopylae! Fill high the bowl with samian wine! Our virgins dance beneath the shade – I see their glorious black eyes shine; But gazing on each glowing maid, My own the burning tear-drop laves To think such breasts must suckle slaves. Must we but weep o’er days more blest? Must we but blush? – our fathers bled. Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new thermopylae! Place me on sunium’s marbled steep, Where nothing, save the waves and i, May hear our mutual murmurs sweep; There, swan-like, let me sing and die: A land of slaves shall ne’er be mine – Dash down yon cup of samian wine! Must we but weep o’er days more blest? Must we but blush? – our fathers bled. Earth! render back from out thy breast A remnant of our spartan dead! Of the three hundred grant but three, To make a new thermopylae!
