COLOR NO BARRIER.

Dedicated to Miss Marie w. Burgette
in recognition of her success as a
poetess. Feb. II. 1917
They said you could not reach the
height
Of classic lore and poetry,
Attained by students who are white,
But only mediocrity.
Oh sinful words, what'er the source
That seeks to stultify the truth,
BY saying brains have not free course
Within the form of colored youth.
cannot think that color sways
The future, where one has real brains,
Then leave it on your dressing case,
And meet the world with faith un-
feigned.
No heights will be too high to climb,
If you are captain of your soul;
Sweet memories you'll leave behind,
If you but struggle toward the goal
Ring clear and loud the freedmans
call,
Nor compromise on manhood's S claims;
Tell to the nations one and all,
That Africs sons will rise again.
Nor think the vict'ry yet achieved,
Until your fallen brothers rise
To higher heights and nobIer deeds
Where no one ere will be denied.
