Answer 1

Her are some extracts ....

1. “Sursum Corda!” (1907) by Julianus (Justo Juliano)

But scarce her wounds could heal, gores yet fresh,
The wailing cries still linger in the breeze,
That mighty Eagle from across the sea
Came, shedding patriots’ blood, forced Liberty
To give her key, and banished from this Isle
Who will not yield, who will not reconcile.
What could a handful do against a host? –
Leonidas e’en perished, tho not lost!

2. “My Dream” (1911) by Santiago Sevilla

Brave were the hearts that have gone before,
True to their country’s call;
Brave are the hearts that beat to-day
In scorn of a captive’s thrall.

Ours not to rest till our banner wave,
Lifting its folds on high;
Greeting the flag of the stars and bars,
The emblem of Liberty.

3. “Bella Esperanza” (1912) by Vicente Callao

Oft have I heard the deep with fury roar,
As if its viewless fetters it would break;
By rage convulsed, most fiercely on the shore
Its towering waves would hurl the shattered wreck;
And then from o’er the omnipotent, regal sea
I heard the breeze lament in doleful moan,
Like some lost spirit wandering o’er the lea,
Telling of glories lost and freedom gone.
