"On being brought from Africa to
America"
Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,Taught my benighted soul to understandThat there's a God, that there's a Saviourtoo:Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.Some view our sable race with scornful eye,"Their colour is a diabolic dye."Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,May be refin'd, and join th' angelic train.´
