incident to the Improvements thereon, do
not consider as within the purview of the

BY JOuN G. WHITTIER.

Across the sea heard the groans
or nations in the intervals
OF wind and wave. Their blood and bones
Cried but in torture, crushed by thrones,
And sucked by priestly cannibals
dreamed Of freedom slowly gained
By martyr meeknesS, patience, faith.
And 10! an athlete grimly Stained,
With corded muscles battle-stGinej
Shouting it from the fields Of death!
tara me, awe-struck. from the sight,
Among the shouting thousands mute,
only know that God is right
And that the children of the light
Shall tread the darkness under foot
know the pent fire heaves its crust.
That sultry skies the bolt will form
To smite them clear; that Nature must
The balance of her powers adjust
Though with the earthquake and the storm.
And who am whose pmyers would stay
The solemn recompense of time,
And lengthen slayery's evil day
That outraged Justice may not lay
Its hand upon the sword Of crime.
VI.
God reigns, and let the earth rejoice
