Louisa Stuart Costello - Spanish Song lyrics

Nay, Inez, no more persuade; Those are sounds that to glory should move: Ah! ne'er for a warrior made Were the garlands thy fondness wove. Wake!—arouse! 'tis the battle's roar; 'Tis its light'ning afar I see! I return with life no more, Or, my country, thou shalt be free! Yet, Inez, in other lands, When around war's banners shall stream; When rush forth our conquering bands All radiant with bravery's beam: Yes—then, midst the battle's roar, I can still spare one thought for thee; But we meet again no more, Till, my country, thou shalt be free!
