But vain were bird and blossom, The green earth and the sky, And the smile of human faces, To the ever darken'd eye ; For, amidst a world of beauty, The slaver went abroad, With his ghastly visage written By the awful curse of God ! S7JLOT&A.S. On the appearance of these Stanzas in the Liberator, it was predicted by Garrison, that 'they would ring from Maine to the Rocky Mountains,' and the prophecy has been fulfilled. They have been circulated in periodicals, quoted in addresses and orations, ...and scattered broad-cast, over the land, beneath the kneeling slave and motto, 'Am 1 not a man and a brother! ' — the device of Cow^er and the English Abolitionists. In this last form, they have roused the conscience of slavehold- ers in New-Orleans — have beei held up to a Boston audience by the sophist Gurley, after a fruitless endeavor to create a tumult by one of his strong appeals to prejudice and selfishness — and have been displayed by the noble-souled May before a Massachusetts Legisla- ture, as a refutation of the charge of incendiarism cast on the Abo- litionists by the Legislatures of the South.
