BURY ME IN A FREE LAND.
Reading edition
BY FRANCES E. W. HARPER.
Make me a grave where'er you will, In a lowly plain or a lofty hill; Make it among earth's humblest graves, But not in a land where men are slaves. I ask no monument proud and high, To arrest the gaze of the passers by; All that my yearning spirit craves Is, Bury me not in a Land of Slaves.
