The Warning. Beware! The Israelite of old, who tore. The lion in his path,--when, poor and blind, He saw the blessed light of heaven no more, Shorn of his noble strength and forced to grind. In prison, and at last led forth to be. A pander to Philistine revelry,-- Upon the pillars of the temple laid. His desperate hands, and in its overthrow.
The Slave in the Dismal Swamp. In dark fens of the Dismal Swamp. The hunted Negro lay; He saw the fire of the midnight camp, And heard at times a horse's tramp. And a bloodhound's distant bay. Where will-o'-the-wisps and glow-worms shine, In bulrush and in brake; Where waving mosses shroud the pine, And the cedar grows, and the poisonous vine.
