L
L is the Lash, that brutally
He swung around its head,
Threatening that "if it cried again,
He'd whip it till 'twas dead."
M
M is the Merchant of the north,
Who buys what slaves produce--
So they are stolen, whipped and worked,
For his, and for our use.
N
N is the Negro, rambling free
In his far distant home,
Delighting 'neath the palm trees' shade
And cocoa-nut to roam.
O
O is the Orange tree, that bloomed
Beside his cabin door,
When white men stole him from his home
To see it never more.
P
P is the Parent, sorrowing,
And weeping all alone--
The child he loved to lean upon,
His only son, is gone!
Q
Q is the Quarter, where the slave
On coarsest food is fed,
And where, with toil and sorrow worn,
He seeks his wretched bed.
R
R is the "Rice-swamp, dank and lone,"
Where, weary, day by day,
He labors till the fever wastes
His strength and life away.
S
S is the Sugar, that the slave
Is toiling hard to make,
To put into your pie and tea,
Your candy, and your cake.
T
T is the rank Tobacco plant,
Raised by slave labor too:
A poisonous and nasty thing,
For gentlemen to chew.
U
U is for Upper Canada,
Where the poor slave has found
Rest after all his wanderings,
For it is British ground!
V
V is the Vessel, in whose dark,
Noisome, and stifling hold,
Hundreds of Africans are packed,
Brought o'er the seas, and sold.
W
W is the Whipping post,
To which the slave is bound,
While on his naked back, the lash
Makes many a bleeding wound.
