Samuel Taylor Coleridge
On the Prospect of establishing a Pantisocracy in America
Whilst pale Anxiety, corrosive Care,
The tear of Woe, the gloom of sad Despair,
 And deepen'd Anguish generous bosoms rend;—
Whilst patriot souls their country's fate lament;
Whilst mad with rage demoniac, foul intent,
 Embattled legions Despots vainly send
To arrest the immortal mind's expanding ray
 Of everlasting Truth;—I other climes
Where dawns, with hope serene, a brighter day
 Than e'er saw Albion in her happiest times,
With mental eye exulting now explore,
 And soon with kindred minds shall haste to enjoy
(Free from the ills which here our peace destroy)
Content and Bliss on Transatlantic shore.
