Subject: Harpers Ferry
Sometimes in Harpers Ferry I feel the presence of John Brown and his men
I still feel their fear as the troops close in
I know the rage of Brown that never was extinguished
The rage and love that drove a man who hated slavery more than he loved life
Walk on the grounds of Storer College, feel DuBois and know he still walks there on the heights
Above the Shenandoah and now above the evil of this day and it's strife
Ol Brown and DuBois answered The Spirit that called them to their fights
Part of their answers were in Harpers Ferry
And part of their answers are with us. What will we do in days rife
With hate and the evil of anger misplaced
Will we stand and struggle for all of us and light and life.
