Paul Laurence Dunbar - Harriet Beecher Stowe
Work rating: Low

She told the story, and the whole world wept
    At wrongs and cruelties it had not known
    But for this fearless woman`s voice alone.
    She spoke to consciences that long had slept:
  Her message, Freedom`s clear reveille, swept
    From heedless hovel to complacent throne.
    Command and prophecy were in the tone
    And from its sheath the sword of justice leapt.
  Around two peoples swelled a fiery wave,
    But both came forth transfigured from the flame.
  Blest be the hand that dared be strong to save,
    And blest be she who in our weakness came--
    Prophet and priestess! At one stroke she gave
    A race to freedom and herself to fame.
