FLING forth the proud banner of Leon again! Let the high word @3Castile!@1 go resounding through Spain! And thou, free Asturias! encamped on the height, Pour down thy dark sons to the vintage of fight! Wake, wake! the old soil where thy children repose Sounds hollow and deep to the trampling of foes! The voices are mighty that swell from the past, With Arragon's cry on the shrill mountain-blast; The ancient sierras give strength to our tread, Their pines murmur song where bright blood hath been shed. -- Fling forth the proud banner of Leon again, And shout ye "Castile! to the rescue for Spain!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN AFTER DAYS; RONDEAU by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON CREPUSCULE DU MATIN; SONNET by AMY LOWELL STORY OF THE GATE by HARRISON ROBERTSON ONE CROWDED HOUR, FR.
