Henceforth we are slaves no longer; Up, on unchained pinions flee! Swell the everlasting chorus, God's sweet Anthem of the Free. ON BEING ASKED TO TAKE THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. What! swear myself a Godless knave? A tyrant o'er the trembling slave? A bloodhound for the southern band, That hunt the bondman through our land? To strangle Truth, to murdur Love, And to the vulture give the dove? To cast out Pity from my heart, And bid all manliness depart? My right hand from my body sever, Ere I be Slav'ry's minion, ever 1 I swear to fight till Error dies. Till Slav'ry's rotting carcass lies A stench to all beneath the sun, Amd Freedom's latest field is won. I swear to spare no manly stroke, To break the proud oppressor's yoke; To let no sun pass o'er my head, Without some word for Freedom said: Some action done to raise the slave, And send Oppression to its grave. SLAVERY. Let Slav'ry spread her ample sails, And boldly float with fav'ring gales, Some undiscovered land to gain, And sow the smiling soil with pain; Her pirate hold filled to the deck With sad humanity a wreck; The storm is gath'ring that shall sweep Her rifted timbers o'er the deep. The night is pregnant with the day; The storm is father of the calm; And battle's hot and bloody fray Heralds the conqueror's crowning palm. WRECK OF HUMANITY. Wreck of humanity, on the world's ocean, Tossed by the billows, in angry commotion; Driven by howling winds, driven like foam; Black heaven scowling, no hope, and no home; Breakers around him, a rock-girted shore; Death-dirges chant the wild waves as they roar; "Ours, the mariner! ours, make room! On floats the mariner, on to his doom." Lowers, ...
