heard thy name, O Mina! Far thro' our hills it rang; A sound more strong than tempests, More keen than armour's clang. The peasant left his vintage, The shepherd grasp'd the spear— —We heard thy name, O Mina! The mountain bands are here.

As eagles to the day-spring, As torrents to the sea, From every dark Sierra So rush'd our hearts to thee.
