LIBERTY, by                    
First Line: Sworn to no creed am I / fearless of what
Last Line: The laws of liberty.
Subject(s): Freedom; Liberty


Sworn to no creed am I:
Fearless of what may be
Behind the grinning mask of life,
I want Truth's face to see.

Man knows the law of flood;
The law of flower and tree;
Man knows the beasts and birds --
I want to know the "me."

Out of the misty deep --
Down from the star-decked sky;
Up from the heat of earth --
Whence came and what am I?

The freedom to explore,
The right to seek and see --
These are the only creeds I know,
The laws of Liberty.
