Independence
I GREW single and sure,
And I will not endure
That my mind should be seen
By the sage or the boor.
I will keep, if I can.
From each brotherly man :
The help of their hands
Is no part of my plan.
I will rise then and go
To the land of my foe.
For his scowl is the sun
That shall cause me to grow.
