Ye spirits of the free,

Can ye for ever see

Your brother man

A yoked and scourged slave,

Chains dragging to his grave,

And raise no hand to save?

Say if you can.

In pride and pomp to roll,

Shall tyrants from the soul

God's image tear,

And call the wreck their own,—

While from th' eternal throne,

They shut the stifled groan,

And bitter prayer?

Shall he a slave be bound,

Whom God hath doubly crowned

Creation's lord?

Shall men of Christian name,

Without a blush of shame,

Profess their tyrant claim

From God's own word?
