Sinopsis
Excerpt from Battery Park
How hast thou peopled deserts to escape Thy tyrant-blighted homes, and still the wrong Did follow in the same oppressing shape, And helplessly thou did'st flee its prong! How hast thou been so weak and yet so strong, To suffer persecutions violent, And through experiences sad and long, To cross the wilds of every continent, And brave the angry breasts of oceans turbulent!

Excerpt from Battery Park
In Battery Park
Oh, man! thou world-tramp of eternity!
Thou freedom-pilgrim of a stormy way!
What hopes and longings after liberty
Have spurred thee 'round the earth, and filled thy day
With fierce adventure! What a mighty fray
Hast thou been waging through the changing years,
As ever out of despotism's sway
Thou hast retreated, to endure the fears
Of newer scenes, and solve the causes of thy tears!
How hast thou peopled deserts to escape
Thy tyrant-blighted homes, and still the wrong
Did follow in the same oppressing shape,
And helplessly thou did'st flee its prong!
How hast thou been so weak and yet so strong,
To suffer persecutions violent.
And through experiences sad and long,
To cross the wilds of every continent,
And brave the angry breasts of oceans turbulent!
But foolishness and pain have ever been
Thy richest benefactors, to obtain
The ends for which thou art; and strife and sin
Have been the surest builders of thy gain,
In coping back to Asia whence the strain
Of evils drove thee. Thy adversity
Is what has made thee run life's rounding chain,
To fitter orders of civility,
In working out thy vast and wonderous destiny.
