Let no autocrat enthrall you! Fight for freedom now! She smiles, O, how she smiles, and all The world is filled with lightg She laughs-'tis like a bird's sweet call, In meadows fair and bright. She weeps-the world is cold and gray, Rain clouds shut out the view: V She sings-I softly steal away And wait till she gets through.
