Explore "Maceo" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Maceo dead! a thrill of sorrow / Through our hearts in sadness ran / When we felt in one sad hour / That the world had lost a man.
He had clasped unto his bosom / The sad fortunes of his land -- / Held the cause for which he perished / With a firm, unfaltering hand.
