When Shadows Fled

MANDIUS J. MUNSON

Into a deepened gloomA burst of sunlight gleamed,And beckoned forth to bloomA faith where darkness dreamed.
Poem

Let justice hold her scale, and truth divide...

Whittier

Let justice hold her scale, and truth divideBetween the right and wrong; but give the heartThe freedom of its fair inheritance;Let the poor prisoner, cramped and starved so long,At nature's table feast his ear and eyeWith joy and wonder; let all harmoniesOf sound, form, color, motion, wait uponThe princely guest, whether in soft attireOf leisure clad, or the coarse frock of toil.
