George Moses Horton was an African-American poet who is remembered as the “Black bard of North Carolina.” He was enslaved and tried to use his first collection, The Hope of Liberty, to purchase his freedom. This failed, and he wasn’t freed until 1865.
‘Praise Of Creation’ celebrates divine creation, and reflects on human fall and sin, ending with resilient hope in spiritual awe.
Creation fires my tongue!
Nature thy anthems raise;
And spread the universal song
Of thy Creator’s praise!
