Versos English Oliver Herford To Liberty

English poem

To Liberty

by (1863–1935)

Listen in the reader

Here's to our Goddess, Liberty, Idol of bronze and stone! May she awake to life some day And let her charms be known.

STAIRS A TOAST

Here's to the man who invented stairs And taught our feet to soar! He was the first who ever burst Into a second floor.

The world would be downstairs to-day Had he not found the key; So let his name go down to fame, Whatever it may be.
