than “aggression” Of “slavery” upon the Northern rights! And Pharisees in pulpit, make profession Of Christian gifts — applauding deadly fights! O'er battle-fields they gloat! the sad procession Of killed and mangled are refreshing sights! For vacant hearth-stones, ruin, desolation, They say, are tokens of the land's salvation!

The freemen host is at your door, And a voice goes forth with a stern “No more!” To the deadly Curse, whose swift redeem Was the visioned thought of John Brown's dream. To the Country's Wrong and the Country's stain, It shall prove as the scythe to the yielding grain; And the dauntless power to spread it forth Is the free-born soul of the chainless North. From the East, and West, and North they come
