Beautiful word. and more beautiful thought.
None but the wise have it, origin sought:
webster hunted all over IN vain
Over and over | searched u again.
I.oosed Ia the books and the classics explored
sought where the learning Of ages was stored:
Fumbled old volumes, found II not there,
thought should have % give up In despair
Talked with the Parson. bat nothing knew be-
Couldn't find out what the meaning should be
Out u my wits, and with patience expended.
Thus, for season. my labor was ended.
BEAUTIFUL word. 20 sublime aud 20 pretty
Charming 4 was for a nice little duty:
Harmony flowing In every letter.
No other word could for rbyming be better.
sounding like musc's voluptaous strain,
Thrilling my bosom and haunting my brain;
sseeter than song. 20 could not refrain
Searching TO hnd out its meaning again;
Iexicons ancient then did explore,
Ioiiing through roots that never before
Thought 10 exami ae, but nothing could find.
Giving meaning that suited my mind.
Asked Professor. and he didn't know:
Satisfied learning was nothing but show.
Went 10 the Office, about 70 despair,
Pound an old "Copperhead" waiting me there.
Put him th@ question. but baught he replied,
Solemn and thoughtful he sat there and sighed;
Soon he looked up toward the beat tful skies,
Tear % deep anguish were nlllng his eyes:
God Of my fathers he mournfully said.
"Whlther, Oh where has sweet Liberty fieds
Death TO our freedom. and death 90 the nation,
This Is the mefning OF mlscegenatonf
Did not believe IL. and went ON my way.
Thinking what Greeley swise pupil would say:
Called at his Office there in the Arcade.
Found him In purple aud linen arrayed;
Fippant and witty he talked with grace.
Crimsoning over my innocent face;
Spoke Of his own intellectual vigor.
Than the old "Copperhead" feeling much bigger;
Mentioned the word with presumption and rgor,
Said II meant blending the white man and niger;
Making race far more lovely and fair,
Darker little than white people are.
Stronger, and nobler. and better IN form,
Hearts more yolnptuous. kinder aud warm
Bosons Of beauty, that heave with pride
Nature TO white folks had ever denied.
Holmes or wise Greeley had coined the new word
Sending forth Joy where its accents were heard:
blessing the orid with new revelation,
Teaching the people OF this wicked nation
All the benghied Of earth and creation,
Through the divine work Of miscegenation,
Truths more sublime than the Gospel reveals.
Grander than nature from mortals eoncesls,
Man was first made a mulatto or black
Hence first principles must come back;
White folks are not IN the line ot progression,
Therefore, the present Is sheer reir0gression.
Look at the happy original pair.
God made them darker th IAN white people are;
Yet they were clothed with perfection aud grace,
Model divine of the whole human race.
Then. i'm accordance with Heavens wise plan,
Blot out forever the race Of white man;
Duty 10 God and TO civilization,
Calls for a social reorganization.
Give a with a little more vigor,
Give Us a race with little more Niger,
Dark In complexion like Adam and Eve.
Impress of Heaven that all should receive.
This will refine aud enlighten the nation
This Is the meaning Of mlscegenation.
Then in sweet union the races should mngie.
No more fond maidens will need TO live single.
Each has nice shining darkey 10 share,
Sweet the morning. with fine woody hair:
Thought most delicious to lady refund.
Negro for husband to wake up and lind
Mothers, fond mothers, you know tits your duty,
Give up your darling to some negro beauty;
Give your fair daughters like angels that are,
Beautiful, lovely. for black men 90 share;
Give up the maiden so blooming and sweet.
Reared with precision and nurtured complete,
To coarse darkey devoid Of all grace
This will produce a superior racei
Listen 20 reason. the Higher Law plan,
Mngle with negroes, deluded white man;
Take to thy home the dear ebony niger,
Take To thy bosom the sweet-scented niger:
Cherish and honor the beautiful wench.
Marry and love her. regardless Of stencil;
Fill with mulattoe' and m0ngrels the nation
This is the me aiming Of miscegenation.
