AT THE CLOSED GATE Or
JUSTICE.

To be a Negro in day like this
Demands forgiveness. Bruised with
blow on blow,
Betrayed, like him whose woe-dim-
med eyes gave bliss,
Still must one succor those who
brought one low,
To be a Negro in a day like this.
To be Negro in a day like this
Demands rare patience-patience
that can wait
In utter darkness. IT'S the path to
miss,
And knock, unheeded. at an iron
gate,
To be a Negro in day like this.
To be a Negro in day like this
Demands strange loyalty. We serve

Which is to US white freedoms en-

Ali one must love when truth and
justice lag,
To be a Negro in a day like this.

thyst,
But pass by, the glorious goal un-

panied on the piano by Ernest Schneider,
known to the musical public as the accom-
PIANIST of Madame Gadski and many other
stars He is also known a song COM
