      ……….

      TO WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON

      CHAMPION of those who groan beneath

      Oppression's iron hand

      In view of penury, hate, and death,

      I see thee fearless stand.

      Still bearing up thy lofty brow,

      In the steadfast strength of truth,

      In manhood sealing well the vow

      And promise of thy youth.

      Go on, for thou hast chosen well;

      On in the strength of God!

      Long as one human heart shall swell

      Beneath the tyrant's rod.

      Speak in a slumbering nation's ear,

      As thou hast ever spoken,

      Until the dead in sin shall hear,

      The fetter's link be broken!

      I love thee with a brother's love,

      I feel my pulses thrill,

      To mark thy spirit soar above

      The cloud of human ill.

      My heart hath leaped to answer thine,

      And echo back thy words,

      As leaps the warrior's at the shine

      And flash of kindred swords!

      They tell me thou art rash and vain,

      A searcher after fame;

      That thou art striving but to gain

      A long-enduring name;

      That thou hast nerved the Afric's hand

      And steeled the Afric's heart,

      To shake aloft his vengeful brand,

      And rend his chain apart.

      Have I not known thee well, and read

      Thy mighty purpose long?

      And watched the trials which have made

      Thy human spirit strong?

      And shall the slanderer's demon breath

      Avail with one like me,

      To dim the sunshine of my faith

      And earnest trust in thee?

      Go on, the dagger's point may glare

      Amid thy pathway's gloom;

      The fate which sternly threatens there

      Is glorious martyrdom

      Then onward with a martyr's zeal;

      And wait thy sure reward

      When man to man no more shall kneel,

      And
