COMMENTS SCARCE original edition book signed by the author This is the collected poetry of the younger brother of William Cullen Bryant (1807-1902), who moved to Bureau County, Princeton, Illinois in 1833, where he worked as a newspaper editor, farmer, politician, and poet. He was an outspoken abolitionist, and supporter of the underground railroad. Here is a poem from this book about the underground railroad. Sonnet to ------ Bold champion of the poor, a thorny road Before thee lies: for thou has bard thy breast And nerved thine arm to lift the heavy load, And break the chains from limbs too long oppressed. Tyrants and custom's dupes shall strive in vain Truth wields a weapon mightier far than they, huge bolts and gates of brass are rent in twain, Touched by the magic of her gentle sway. Hold then thy course, "nor bate one jot of hope," Lo! the day dawns along our eastern shore; Soon shall the night of prejudice be o'er, And a bright morning give thee freer scope To rouse thy countrymen to deeds of good, And just and equal laws shall save the land from blood.
