English poem
To Liberty
by Oliver Herford (1863–1935)
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.
