POEMS.
139
Ah, no! be hers, in sympathy,
A willing ear to lend
To those who, working wearily,
'Neath many a trial bend,
And with a firm and noble zeal
Their truthful cause befriend.

Be hers the spirit prompt to aid
This long-enduring band,
Whose cry for justice rises up,
And rings throughout the land;
And what shall then their bold appeal,
Their prayer, their wrongs, withstand?
H. A.
