Explore "The Night of Death" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'Twas a night of dreadful horror -- / Death was sweeping through the land; / And the wings of dark destruction / Were outstretched from strand to strand.
Strong men's hearts grew faint with terror, / As the tempest and the waves / Wrecked their homes and swept them downward, / Suddenly to yawning graves.
