PEOPLE'S Attorney, servant of the Right! - ZaunköniG - 30.04.2007 PEOPLE'S Attorney, servant of the Right! Pleader for all shades of the solar ray, Complexions dusky, yellow, red, or white; Who, in thy country's and thy time's despite, Hast only questioned, What will Duty say? And followed swiftly in her narrow way: Tipped is thy tongue with golden eloquence, All honeyed accents fall from off thy lips, — Each eager listener his full measure sips, Yet runs to waste the sparkling opulence, — The scorn of bigots, and the worldling's flout. If Time long held thy merit in suspense, Hastening repentant now, with pen devout, Impartial History dare not leave thee out. |
