Phillis Wheatley - On Being Brought from Africa to America
Work rating: High

	`Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
	Taught my benighted soul to understand
	That there`s a God, that there`s a Saviour too:
	Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
	Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
	"Their colour is a diabolic dye."
	Remember, Christians, Negro`s, black as Cain,
	May be refin`d, and join th` angelic train.
