THE HOUR OF FREEDOM. [3]

Previous

BY WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON.

The hour of freedom! come it must.
O hasten it, in mercy, Heaven!
When all who grovel in the dust
Shall stand erect, their fetters riven;
When glorious freedom shall be won
By every caste, complexion, clime;
When tyranny shall be o'erthrown,
And color cease to be a crime.
