Happy the snow-locked homes whereinHe tuned his merry violin, Or played the athlete in the barn, Or held the good dame's winding-yarn, Or mirth-provoking versions toldOf classic legends rare and old, Wherein the scenes of Greece and RomeHad all the commonplace of home, And little seemed at best the odds'Twixt Yankee pedlers and old gods;Where Pindus-born Arachthus tookThe guise of any grist-mill brook, And dread Olympus at his willBecame a huckleberry hill. A careless boy that night be seemed;B...ut at his desk he had the lookAnd air of one who wisely schemed, And hostage from the future tookIn trained thought and lore of book. Large-brained, clear-eyed, of such as heShall Freedom's young apostles be, Who, following in War's bloody trail, Shall every lingering wrong assail;All chains from limb and spirit strike, Uplift the black and white alike;Scatter before their swift advanceThe darkness and the ignorance, The pride, the lust, the squalid sloth, Which nurtured Treason's monstrous growth, Made murder pastime, and the hellOf prison-torture possible;The cruel lie of caste refute, Old forms remould, and substituteFor Slavery's lash the freeman's will, For blind routine, wise-handed skill;A school-house plant on every hill, Stretching in radiate nerve-lines thenceThe quick wires of intelligence;Till North and South together broughtShall own the same electric thought, In peace a common flag salute, And, side by side in labor's freeAnd unresentful rivalry, Harvest the fields wherein they fought.
