Music of the Soldiers Arlington, Va. Band of 107th U.S. Colored Infantry
Our Hero by Frances E.W. Harper Onward to her destination, O’er the steam the Hannah sped When a cry of consternation Smote and chilled our hearts with dread. Wildly leaping, madly sweeping,All relentless in their sway,Like a band of cruel demons,Flames were closing round our way. Oh! the horror of those moments;Flames above and waves below.Oh! the agony of agesCrowded in one hour of woe. Fainter grew our hearts with anguishIn that hour with peril rife,When we saw the pilot flying,Terror-stricken, for his life. Then a man up rose before us- We had once despised his race But we saw a lofty purpose Lighting up his darkened face. While the flames were madly roaring,With a courage grand and high,Forth he rushed unto our rescue,Strong to suffer, brave to die. Helplessly the boat was drifting,Death was staring in each face,When he grasped the fallen rudder,Took the pilot's vacant place. Poetry
