To Spain--a Last Word

Iberian! palter no more! By thine hands, thine alone, they were slain!
Oh, 'twas a deed in the dark--
Yet mark!
We will show you a way--only one--by which ye may blot out the stain!

Build them a monument whom to death-sleep, in their sleep, ye betrayed!
Proud and stern let it be--
Cuba free!
So, only, the stain shall be razed--so, only, the great debt be paid!
