When tyrants tremble in their fear...

When tyrants tremble in their fear
And hear their death knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near
How can I keep from singing...

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Unless I am mistaken, it is fairly obscure. I only know it because it is sung as a hymn in the Unitarian Universalist churches.

I am curious how many people here know it?
