A BLOW FROM AN UNSEEN HAND
Give US the hand that will strike blow
In the open market-place,
While the well-rousei blood from the angry
heart
lnfiames the answering faeel
Rather than that sly, stealthy hanl
That aims a blow in the dark
And leaves, like poisoned SCRIP ent's fang,
A sure and deadly mark.
The tale that the smoosh-sonyue slanderer
tells
Behind her fair friends bacl
That grows and grows as it onward goes
With the sound OF the mills ciic',. ciack!
The doubtful story set afoat
By some secret, dangerous band,
To rob man of his fame or name,
Are blow from an unseen hand.
Give us the open light Of day,
With the clear sun shining bright
Rather than sha lows grim and gray
On the darker gloom of night;
Give us hand that viii deal bow
As flint may strike a spark,
Rather than that sly, stealthy one
That aims blow in the dark.
