On Freedom <br />By Thomas S. Sidney, aged 12 Years <br />October 21st, 1828 <br /> <br />Freedom will break the tyrant's chains, <br />And shatter all his whole domain; <br />From slavery she will always free <br />And all her aim is liberty. <br /> <br />On Slavery <br />By George E. Allen, aged 12 Years <br />October 21st, 1828 <br /> <br /> <br />Slavery, oh, thou cruel stain, <br />Thou does fill my heart with pain; <br />See my brother, here he stands <br />Chained by slavery's cruel hands. <br /> <br />Could we not feel a brother's woes, <br />Relieve the wants he undergoes? <br />Snatch him from slavery's cruel smart, <br />And to him freedom's joy impart?<br /><br />Anonymous Americas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-classroom-assignment/
