SACRIFICE

By J. A. Edgerton

THE road of progress is a road of pain, That's stained by blood of martyrs. The height Beyond is crowned with glory infinite, Around us are the corpses of the slain, The heroes sacrificed to greed and gain, The men who dared for the oppressed to fight, Who stood for justice, liberty, and right, The God-led rebels against custom's reign, And yet the armies led by mammon's might Before the hosts of truth are swept away. Above the shadows of the human night The dawn of ages now is growing gray. The earth sweeps on into the sweeter light, The glory of the long-expected day. J. A. EDGERTON.
