robert owens - to the white fiends lyrics

Loading...

think you i am not fiend and savage too?
think you i could not arm me with a gun
and shoot down ten of you for every one
of my black brothers murdered, burnt by you?
be not deceived, for every deed you do
i could match — out-match: am i not africa’s son
black of that black land where black deeds are done?

but the almighty from the darkness drew
my soul and said: even thou shaft be a light
awhile to burn on the benighted earth
thy dusky face i set among the white
for thee to prove thyself of highest worth;
before the world is swallowed up in night
to show thy little lamp: go forth, go forth!
