Qottru.
From the Atlantic Monthly for February.
At Port Royal. 1861.
BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.

The tent-lights glimmer on the land,
The ship-lights on the sea;
The night-wind smooths with drifting sand
Our track on lone Tybee.
At last our grating keels outside,
Our good boats forward swing
And while we ride the and-locked tide,
Our negroes row and sing.
For dear the bondman holds his gifts
Of music and of song
The gold that kindly Nature Sits
Among his sands of wrong;
The power to make his toiling days
And poor home-comforts please;
The quaint relief of mirth that plays
With sorrows minor KEYS.
Another glow than sunsets fire
Has filled the West with light,
Where field and garner, barn and byre
Are blazing through the night.
The land is wild with fear and hate,
The rout runs mad and fast;
From hand to hand, from gate to gate,
The flaming brand is passed.
The lurid glow falls strong across
Not theirs the terror. hate, and loss
That fire yon blazing piles.
With oar-strokes timing to their sohg,
They weave in simple lays
The pathos of remembered wrong,
The hope OF better days.
The triumph-note that Miriam sung,
The JOY of uncaged birds
Softening with Afric's mellow tongue
Their broken Saxon words.
THE SONG OF THE NEGRO BOATMEN
Oh praise an tanks lie Lord he come
To set de people free;
An nsassa tink it day oh doom,
