The slave Singing at Midnight,

BY LoNoFELLow.
Load he song the psalm Of David!
IL a negro, and enslaved,
Sang Of lsraels victory,
Sang of Zion bright and free.
In the hour when night is calmest
Sang he from the Hebrew Psalmist,
IN voice 30 sweet aud clear,
That could not choose but hear.
Songs Of triumph and ascriptious,
suchas reached The swart Egyptians,
when upon IN Red Sea coast,
Pcrisbed Pharaoh and bis host.
And the voice lf hs devotion
ri led my soul with strange emotion,
Fos its tshes by turns were glad,
sweetly solemn, wildly sad
Paul aud Silas in their prison,
Sung of Christ, the Lord arisen,
And an earthquakes arm Of might,
Broke their dungeon gatesat night
But, alas. what holy angel
Brings the slave this glad evangell
And what earthquakes arm Of might
Breaks his dungeon gates at nightl
