Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR
ALEXANDRIA COUNTY, Va, March 20, 1884

stood on the bridge at midnight.
While the plankS were rotting away,
And light Shone Ger the city
As the toll bridge went TO decay.
How Oftens how often.
In the days that had gone by,
stopped at the bridge In daylight
And paid my toll with a sigh.
For my heart was hot and restless
And my life was full OF gall,
At this crumbing relic OF backmail
That must sink TO speedy fall.
Yet whenever cross the river
On this bridge with government piers,
The odor OF slavery StunS me
And the darkness OF vanished years!
