Summary

Portrait of Alfred Tennyson Alfred Tennyson,  Of old sat Freedom on the heights

“ Her open eyes desire the truth.
The wisdom of a thousand years
Is in them. May perpetual youth
Keep dry their light from tears;
That her fair form may stand and shine,
Make bright our days and light our dreams,
Turning to scorn with lips divine
To falsehood of extremes.
This work was published before January 1, 1928, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
