HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW

Listen my children and you shall hear
of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
on the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
and a word that shall echo for evermore !
For, borne on the night-wind of the past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

Remember the "SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY"
