Poetry The Underground Railroad by Frances C. Taylor On and on in the dead of nightThe weary slave seeksFreedom through flight.His clothes are tattered,His feet are bare;They bleed from frostbite.Does no one care? He follows the StarWith a hope that shinesAs dark, through the night,The trail he finds.“The Underground Railroad”-He’s heard its nameThis railroad to freedomIs not in vain. “As God as my witness,I’ll follow the StarO’er the Underground RailroadThough I know it’s farTo Canada’s shores.But I’ll then be freeWith manumission papersIssued to me. Many hands have guidedThese weary feetFrom station to stationMay I repeat –The conductors that guided meHave been led by GodBy a faithThat is free.” The Voice of the Slave In here, quick, so they don’t see The escape we’re trying to make. We’ll get shipped off to Canada By the large Ontario Lake. We’ve got to be quiet and careful We’ve found our chance to be free. Our lives right now are worthless, And that isn’t how they should be. After crawling through this tunnel That was made for us who slaved. We’ll count our blessings every day: Praise God! Praise God! We’re saved. Freedom House Proud to have served the North Helping slaves be free. Passing through my walls At the home of Featherly. Hiding them in cellars During most of the day, But when the skies turned dark, Through my secret part to the Bay. They couldn’t have escaped without me, Because, when I hid a slave, The South didn’t know where to look, They were in my secret cave.
