  3. The Slave's Complaint   by George Moses Horton Am I sadly cast aside, On misfortune's rugged tide? Will the world my pains deride Forever? Must I dwell in Slavery's night, And all pleasure take its flight, Far beyond my feeble sight, Forever? Worst of all, must hope grow dim, And withhold her cheering beam? Rather let me sleep and dream Forever! Something still my heart surveys, Groping through this dreary maze; Is it Hope?--they burn and blaze Forever! Leave me not a wretch confined, Altogether lame and blind– Unto gross despair consigned, Forever! Heaven! in whom can I confide? Canst thou not for all provide? Condescend to be my guide Forever: And when this transient life shall end, Oh, may some kind, eternal friend Bid me from servitude ascend, Forever! Poetry

  4. Poetry Continued The Slave Mother By Frances Ellen Watkins Harper Heard you that shriek? It rose    So wildly on the air, It seem’d as if a burden’d heart    Was breaking in despair. Saw you those hands so sadly clasped—    The bowed and feeble head— The shuddering of that fragile form—    That look of grief and dread? Saw you the sad, imploring eye?    Its every glance was pain, As if a storm of agony    Were sweeping through the brain. She is a mother pale with fear,    Her boy clings to her side, And in her kyrtle vainly tries    His trembling form to hide. He is not hers, although she bore    For him a mother’s pains; He is not hers, although her blood    Is coursing through his veins! He is not hers, for cruel hands    May rudely tear apart The only wreath of household love    That binds her breaking heart. His love has been a joyous light    That o’er her pathway smiled, A fountain gushing ever new,    Amid life’s desert wild. His lightest word has been a tone    Of music round her heart, Their lives a streamlet blent in one—    Oh, Father! must they part? They tear him from her circling arms,    Her last and fond embrace. Oh! never more may her sad eyes    Gaze on his mournful face. No marvel, then, these bitter shrieks    Disturb the listening air: She is a mother, and her heart    Is breaking in despair.
