Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Refreshing Poems, Vol. 1
Impatiently they stood and gazed Suspecting there was news to hear, Surprised, perplexed, almost amazed, On came the ship approaching near.
Boom! The cannon belched aloud, And the dying echoes quivered about. Landed cried the jolly crowd; But the mystery, yet, was not made out.
There soon assembled on the beach, An eager and excited band.
So glad were they, the scene to reach, A tumult raged upon the land.
Negroes, here, a voice exclaimed. Bl ought here from Africa to sell. The vessel' 5 mission thus proclaimed, A momentary silence fell.
