Paul Revere’s RideBy Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Paul Revere’s Rideby Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to his friend, "If the British march By land or sea from the town to-night, Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry-arch
Of the North-Church-tower, as a signal-light,-- One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need, The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed, And the midnight message of Paul Revere.
