Benjamin Cutler Clark

1825-1875 / the United States

Acrostic, B. L.

Bold in the cause of truth;—
Ever maintained the right;—
Not in the strength of man!—
In God!—the infinite!
Always consistent,—true
'Midst difficulties, strife;—
Into the battle call'd;—
Never despair'd through life!

Let tyrants rage the more,
Until their anger's o'er,—
Nor let them us allure;
Dear friend! we rest secure
Your trust in God is sure.
