from Frederick Douglass
And he was no soft-tongued apologist: He spoke straightforward, fearlessly uncowed; The sunlight of his truth dispelled the mist, And set in bold relief each dark-hued cloud; To sin and crime he gave their proper hue, And hurled as evil what was evil's due.
Through good and ill report he cleaved his way Right onward, with his face set toward the heights, Not feared to face the foeman's dread array.- The lash of scorn, the sting of petty spites. He dared the lightning in the lightning's track, And answered thunder with his thunder back.
When men maligned him, and their torrent wrath In funous imprecations o'er him broke He kept his counsel as he kept his path T was for his race, not for himself, he spoke. He knew the import of his Master's call And fell himself too mighty to be small
