Excerpt from Joshua R. Giddings: A Sketch
Giddings, far rougher names than thine have grown Smoother than honey on the lips of men' And thou shalt aye be honorably known, As one who bravely used the tongue and pen As best befits a freeman - even for those To whom our laws' unblushing front denies A right to plead against the life-long woes Which are the negroes' glimpse of freedom's skies. Fear nothing and hope all things, as the right Alone may do securely; every hour The thrones of ignorance and ancient Night Lose somewhat of their long usurped power; And freedom's lightest word can make them shiver With a base dread that clings to them forever. William Cullen Bryant.
