Poems by George Moses Horton
On An Old Deluded Suitor
... Then, like a lark, from boyhood's maze I soar'd, ...
On Liberty and Slavery
... And breathed her notes from Africs grove, ...
The Woodman And The Money Hunter
... Our lead is good, our powder strong, ...
Lincoln Is Dead
... He is gone down from a world of commotion, ...
Like Brothers We Meet
... Their sons and fair daughters with pleasure they greet, ...
The Lover's Farewell
... And wilt thou, love, command my soul, ...
The Eye Of Love
... What shall her fluttering pulse restrain, ...
George Moses Horton, Myself
... Would spread her wing, her power to be unfurld, ...
The Southern Refugee
... That bade her bridegroom fare thee well ...
The Loss Of Female Character
... She looks like some Star that has fall'n from her sphere, ...
To The King Of Macedonia
... The lofty king falls robeless from his throne, ...
On Death
... And strikes the deepest awe within the bravest soul ...
General Grant -- The Hero Of The War
... They all obeyed their marshall's strict command, ...
On The Conversion Of A Sister
... 'Tis a spirit cut loose from its chain, ...
Troubled With The Itch, And Rubbing Sulfur
... Grinning I scratch and curse the pain, ...
