THE BALLOT by JOHN PIERPONT

First Line: A WEAPON THAT COMES DOWN AS STILL
Last Line: AS LIGHTNING DOES THE WILL OF GOD.
Subject(s): ELECTIONS; VOTING; VOTERS; SUFFRAGE;
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.
