Poem by John Pierpont

The Ballot

A weapon that comes down as still  
 As snowflakes fall upon the sod;  
But executes a freeman’s will,  
 As lightning does the will of God.

1. Come Sign the Vow!
2. The Temperance Crew
3. Evening Prayer for a Child
4. News-Carrier's Address
5. Warren's Address to the American Soldiers, Before the Battle of Bunker Hill
