Where wrongs expire:
Nor spares the hand
Thu. from the land
tprOOts the ancient evil
The handbrcalth clond tho 'ascs feared
Its bloody rain IL dropping;
The poison plant the fathers spared
All else il overlapping.
Fast. West. South, North.
1t curses the caItE;
All Justice dies.
And fiGud aud lies
Live only ia its shadow.
What gives the whoat.fcd blades II steclt
What points the Rebel csnnonf
Whit sets the roaring rabies heel
On the old star.spangled pennoni
What breaks the cath
or the men q the SOUTH
What wh-ts the knife
For the Unions lifc,-
Hank t. the answer: slavery
Then waste no blow. on lesser foes
In strife unworthy frcemen.
God lifts to-day the vail and shown
The features Of the dcmont
0North ard South.
It's victims both,
Car yc not cry.
Let Slavery def"
And union fad In frccdomf
VIA, though the cast-out spirit tear
The nation la his goingi
We who have shared tho guilt must share
Tie paug OF his o'crthrowing
Whntc'er the loss.
Mhntc'e T tie cross
Shall they complain
O! present poin
Who trust IN Gods hercaNori
For who that cnn' on His right arm
Wns ever yct rsascn'
What igltcOus cause con suffer harm
II lie IT, part las takonf
Though Wild and loud
And dark the cloud
Behind its folds
His haSl uphgds
The calm sky Of tomorrow
Above the mnddcning cry for blood
Aoovc tie wild war-drumminE.
Let Freedoms voice DO heard. with good
The evil overcoming.
Give prayer aud purse
To stay the Curse
Whose wrong We share.
Whose shame we bear
Whose end shall gladden. Heavcns
In vain the bells Of war shall ring
OF triuuphs and reyengcs.
While still is spared the evil thing
That sewers AID estgangea.
But b.oss tie ear
That vet shall hear
The jGbiaut bel
That rings tls kncu
OF Slavery forever
Then let the selfish lip he tums.
And tushed TIE breath Of sighns's
Before the Joy Of peace must eoN'
Tie pains Of purifying.
God give Us grace
Zach in bis pace
To bear his lot
And. murmpfing rot
Endure and wat Gad labor
