Abraham Beasley · Answer 1

The skies sweet and blue, thy dwell below

Thine wails of freedom thunder the Earth below.

Hallowed God of Heaven hath room for all

Yet, man bound by man, Thine benevolent fall.

Listen To Me, thy prayers released

Shant matter who hears, the pauper, the priest.

The blue skies hath darkened til quiet as night

The moonlight shun brightly, thy brothers of flight.

With arms spread wide, thy hail thee this day

The Underground Railroad hath lead you this way.
