THE SLAVE SINGING AT MIDNIGHT.

He, a Negro and enslaved,
Sang of Israel's victory,
Sang of Zion, bright and free.
He, a Negro and enslaved,
Sang of Israel's victory,

In a voice so sweet and clear
That I could not choose but hear,
Sang he from the Hebrew Psalmist,
In a voice so sweet and clear
That I could not choose but hear,
