Herman Melville - "Formerly A Slave"
Work rating: Low

The sufferance of her race is shown,
  And retrospect of life,
Which now too late deliverance dawns upon;
  Yet is she not at strife.

Her children`s children they shall know
  The good withheld from her;
And so her reverie takes prophetic cheer--
  In spirit she sees the stir.

Far down the depth of thousand years,
  And marks the revel shine;
Her dusky face is lit with sober light,
  Sibylline, yet benign.
