On the Prospect of establishing a Pantisocracy in America

Whilst pale Anxiety, corrosive Care,

The tear of Woe, the gloom of sad Despair,

       &nbspAnd deepen'd Anguish generous bosoms rend;—

Whilst patriot souls their country's fate lament;

Whilst mad with rage demoniac, foul intent,

       &nbspEmbattled legions Despots vainly send

To arrest the immortal mind's expanding ray

       &nbspOf everlasting Truth;—I other climes

Where dawns, with hope serene, a brighter day

       &nbspThan e'er saw Albion in her happiest times,

With mental eye exulting now explore,

       &nbspAnd soon with kindred minds shall haste to enjoy

(Free from the ills which here our peace destroy)

Content and Bliss on Transatlantic shore.
