This Night Floats Along Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

A Chorus Song
This night floats along
The harbor and the ancient sea
The ancient fort and bastions
Old; the bending trees;
Sing the Chorus Voices:
‘We are free, now that
Were not free; when
In chains floated in a sea
Of woes on Earth;
To power, to glory
And to the rest
Were bound; look
When the chains fell;
Long; long;
Already rust around.
Pity that Earth bind thus
But so bound we.
Till
The time comes
When the eyes be
Opened
The chains fall
And then the moment
Of song:
‘We are free! We are free! ’
Roam about the Earth in fantasy
We phantoms of the night
Genetic of beauty;
Now the freedom gained
We roam about dark and obstinate
Grim faced determined
Round
Never to lose our liberty’
