To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No ; if within a conscience yet there be, THE BRIGHTER AGE. 43 T will sting thy bosom ; with its poignancy T will make thee sigh o er thy unlawful gain, And manacle thy heart with heavy chain ; T will make thee more a slave, than thou hast made Those victims of thy avaricious trade.
They wear the fetters, but their souls are free ; Thou, monster, hast no inward liberty.
Oh Africa, enthralled land ! I see A day-star rising o er thy destiny ! Thy western lands, where slave-ship coasted long, And ...thy dark children suffered many a wrong, Of late, illumed with holy light, I trace The rays of mercy brightening o er thy face.
Liberia, hail ! auspicious colony ! Reflecting rays of glorious liberty !
44 THE BRIGHTER AGE.
Home of returning Africans ! I long To see thee crowded with a countless throng. Ope wide thy arms, and o er the ocean call Thy bowed and broken children, here in thrall. Bid them return and dwell beneath thy care, And freedom feel, and freedom s blessings share.
Hail, blissful period !
