Napoleon

Listen in the reader

Would that the cold adventurous Corsican Woke with new hope of glory, strong from sleep, Instructed how to conquer and to keep More justly, having dreamed awhile, yea crowned With shining flowers, God-given; while the sound Of singing continents, following the sun, Calls freeborn men to guard Napoleon’s throne Who makes the eternal hopes of man his own.
