    Eternal Spirit of the chainless Mind!
    Brightest in dungeons, Liberty, thou art;
    For there thy habitation is the heart -
    The heart which love of thee alone can bind;
    And when thy sons to fetters are consigned,
    - To fetters, and the damp vault's dayless gloom -
    Their country conquers with their martyrdom,
    And Freedom's fame finds wings on every wind.
    Chillon! thy prison is a holy place,
    And thy sad floor and altar, for 'twas trod,
    Until his very steps have left a trace,
    Worn, as if thy cold pavement were a sod,
    By Bonnivard. -May none those marks efface!
    For they appeal from tyranny to God.
