Azalia E. Martin, "Is Justice Color Blind" (1904)
Azalia Edmonia Martin
Oppression's hand is o'er us
And friends are few we find;
Ye Gods, who reign supremely
Is Justice color blind?
Oh, noble Sons of Freedom,
That did so bravely stand;
In honor of a nation
That Right might rule our land!
On Fame's eternal page,
On Mem'ry's leaf so fair
With blood lost in great battles
Your names are written there.
Old Slavery's chain is broken
And yet we are not free;
The darkest gloom surrounds us,
We ask for liberty.
The dark clouds that o'erhang us
Must serve to closer bind;
We yet shall win the laurels,
God is not color blind.
