Paul Laurence Dunbar - Right`s Security
Work rating: Low

WHAT if the wind do howl without,
And turn the creaking weather-vane;
What if the arrows of the rain
Do beat against the window-pane?
Art thou not armored strong and fast
Against the sallies of the blast?
Art thou not sheltered safe and well
Against the flood`s insistent swell?
What boots it, that thou stand`st alone,
And laughest in the battle`s face
When all the weak have fled the place
And let their feet and fears keep pace? 
Thou wavest still thine ensign, high,
And shoutest thy loud battle-cry;
Higher than e`er the tempest roared,
It cleaves the silence like a sword.
Right arms and armors, too, that man
Who will not compromise with wrong;
Though single, he must front the throng,
And wage the battle hard and long.
Minorities, since time began,
Have shown the better side of man;
And often in the lists of Time
One man has made a cause sublime!
