Here you will find the Poem I Am An Abolitionist of poet Anonymous Americas
I am an Abolitionist! I glory in the name: Though now by Slavery?s minions hiss?d And covered o?er with shame, It is a spell of light and power ? The watchword of the free : ?? Who spurns it in the trial-hour, A craven soul is he ! I am an Abolitionist! Then urge me not to pause; For joyfully do I enlist In Freedom?s sacred cause: A nobler strife the world ne?er saw, Th? enslaved to disenthral; I am a soldier for the war, Whatever may befall! I am an Abolitionist! Oppression?s deadly foe; In God?s great strength will I resist, And lay the monster low; In God?s great name do I demand, To all be freedom given, That peace and joy may fill the land, And songs go up to heaven! I am an Abolitionist! No threats shall awe my soul, No perils cause me to desist, No bribes my acts control; A freeman will I live and die, In sunshine and in shade, And raise my voice for liberty, Of nought on earth afraid.
