    Freedom by Ambrose Bierce

    Freedom, as every schoolboy knows,
    Once shrieked as Kosciusko fell;
    On every wind, indeed, that blows
    I hear her yell.

    She screams whenever monarchs meet,
    And parliaments as well,
    To bind the chains about her feet
    And toll her knell.

    And when the sovereign people cast
    The votes they cannot spell,
    Upon the pestilential blast
    Her clamors swell.

    For all to whom the power's given
    To sway or to compel,
    Among themselves apportion Heaven
    And give her Hell.
