for the daylight breaks along the air.
58 WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON Blows ! and all shames ! and twitching hands That fain would claw or choke him dead; Prison, and want, and iron bands, And curses heaped upon his head !
Hot hatreds and the colder wrath That hissed or hid along his path!
And through all these he walked as one Whose inner peace outpours like May-day sun The light of perfect love, the joy of service done.
They haled him down the hooting street, They mocked and mired the gentle face,... They snarled to see the buffets beat About his brows — in that same place Where stood of old the sacred shrine, Blood-bought, of Freedom the divine.
So fared he for his grievous wrong Who listened to the earth's eternal song That all her children to one race and blood belong.
He would not lift a hand to lengthen The life he held no more his own 59 SONGS OF DEMOCRACY Than his whose blood was shed, to strengthen The seed the earlier saints had sown.
All life, all breath, all toil, all rest, Fed but the one fire in his breast, And praise and blame and praise again Unnoted screamed or sang within his ken Who strove not save to heal the stricken hearts of men.
