The Hour of Freedom3

By William Lloyd Garrison

The hour of freedom! come it must.
  O hasten it, in mercy, Heaven!
When all who grovel in the dust
  Shall stand erect, their fetters riven;

When glorious freedom shall be won
  By every caste, complexion, clime;
When tyranny shall be o’erthrown,
  And color cease to be a crime.
