His granite sides with laughter.
Folk songs
By Whittier, John Greenleaf
What boots it that we pelted out
The anti-slavery women, (9)
And bravely strewed their hall about
With tattered lace and trimming?
Was it for such a sad reverse
Our mobs became peacemakers,
And kept their tar and wooden horse
For Englishmen and Quakers?
Artist: Whittier, John Greenleaf
Year: 1850
