Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home I looked over Jordan, and I what did I see Coming for to carry me home? A band of angels coming after me Coming for to carry me home If you get there before I do Coming for to carry me home Tell all my friends I coming too Coming for to carry me home I'm sometimes up, I'm sometimes down Coming for to carry me home But still my soul feels heavenly bound Coming for to carry me home Notice the Refrain that adds strength to the piece.

 The Moses of her people “When dat ar ole chariot comes, I'm gwine to lebe you, I'm boun' for de promised land, Frien's, I'm gwine to lebe you. I'm sorry, frien's, to lebe you, Farewell ! oh, farewell! But I'll meet you in de mornin', Farewell! oh, farewell! I'll meet you in de mornin', When you reach de promised land; On de oder side of Jordan, For I'm boun' for de promised land.”

Go down Moses Way down in Egypt land Tell ole Pharaoh To let my people go When Israel was in Egypt land Let my people go Oppressed so hard the could not stand Let my people go Go down Moses Way down in Egypt land Tell ole Pharaoh “To let my people go” “Thus spoke the Lord”, bold Moses said Let my people go; “If not, I’ll smite your first born dead Let my people go Go down Moses Way down in Egypt land Tell ole Pharaoh “To let my people go”

We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,— This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties. Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask. vile We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the mile; But let the world dream otherwise, We wear the mask!

Most lines in the poem are in iambic tetrameter.

 Which literary devices are used in this poem?  What is the paradox in this poem?  What is the universal theme?

I went to the dances at Chandlerville, And played snap-out at Winchester. One time we changed partners, Driving home in the moonlight of middle June, And then I found Davis. We were married and lived together for seventy years, Enjoying, working, raising the twelve children, Eight of whom we lost Ere I had reached the age of sixty.

I spun, I wove, I kept the house, I nursed the sick, I made the garden, and for holiday Rambled over the fields where sang the larks, And by Spoon River gathering many a shell, And many a flower and medicinal weed— Shouting to the wooded hills, singing to the green valleys.

At ninety-six I had lived enough, that is all, And passed to a sweet repose. What is this I hear of sorrow and weariness, Anger, discontent and drooping hopes? Degenerate sons and daughters, Life is too strong for you— It takes life to love Life.

 What is the author’s tone?  What is the author’s message?  Is this theme universal? Explain.  Do you think she’s right? Justify.

So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from the snow- capped Rockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that -- let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi -- from every mountainside!
