Speed on the Time

By John Greenleaf Whittier

From Whittier's "Clerical Oppressors"
Wo, then, to all who grind Their brethren of a common Father down! To all who plunder from the immortal mind Its bright and glorious crown!
Wo to the priesthood! Wo To those whose hire is with the price of blood,— Perverting, darkening, changing, as they go, The searching truths of God!
Their glory and their might Shall perish; and their very names shall be Vile before all the people, in the light Of a world's liberty.
O, speed the moment on When Wrong shall cease, and Liberty and Love And Truth and Right throughout the earth be known As in their home above.
