Show OUR RIGHTS. I wonder what our rights may be, Tbe mystery grows more deep; i For overy w he.ro 6' me can't aureo ' Wht each may plainly keep; For arguments aro riskv thing! Which turn on pivots smslC And evory time the Inst one brings A weight that turns thorn all. I wonder why tho wrong sometimes Can counterfeit tho rlnlit Wtth such success that error twines Its tndrils round it quite, Until the two as closely grown Inseparable seem, And neither are quite fully known Till Justico comes between. I wonder why delusive tights Along the broad highway Such iu.o-ifridtencies invito And hold such mighty sway; If Self stands in tho open door N'nnn nthflrs nntni- Lhixm Long, long must Justice loud implore, Ere she will hear her prayur. I wonder, if wo really knew Wherein our rights consist, If wo would justice always strow In such a world aa thin: For virtue meets such poor returns The weak faint by tho wav. And great the heart that faithful burns Its iccenso all the day. |
