High independent Lady Liberty,

Begs to be handled with respect and care

And asks to have profoundest empathy

With those that cannot in her bounty share.


She is a gift, a generous gratuity,

With freedom’s privileges intertwined

But spurns conceited self-sufficiency,

Her devotees should keep this fact in mind.


Her speech is straight, no ambiguity,

Hold up this lady high and serve her well!

She is a beacon that must oversee

Where in dark corners serfs and bondsmen dwell.


Dame Liberty - sweet independency

Lends giving service her distinct support,

To lead the way to shared autonomy

Achieved in realms of high heaven’s court.


Responsibility is freedom's prize,

High prize - for boundless is man dignity,

And freedom's sister, choice and sacrifice

Will safeguard and protect the truly free.


True freedom dwells upon a starry plain,

Marked and emblazoned by the Master’s hand,

Where vision and participation reign,

And joys secure on which you can depend.
