Explore "Moses: a Story of the Nile" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The Death of Moses / His work was done; his blessing lay / Like precious ointment on his people's head, / And God's great peace was resting on his soul.
His life had been a lengthened sacrifice, / A thing of deep devotion to his race, / Since first he turned his eyes on Egypt's gild / And glow, and clasped their fortunes in his hand / And held them with a firm and constant grasp.
