A NEGRO SONG,

FROM MR. PARK'S TRAVELS.

I.

THE loud wind roar'd, the rain fell fast;
The White Man yielded to the blast:
He sat him down, beneath our tree;
For weary, sad, and faint was he;
And ah, no wife, or mother's care,
For him, the milk or corn prepare:

CHORUS.

The White Man, shall our pity share;
Alas, no wife or mother's care,

For him, the milk or corn prepare.

II.

The storm is o'er; the tempest past; And Mercy's voice has hush'd the blast. The wind is heard in whispers low; The White Man, far away must go ;But ever in his heart will bear Remembrance of the Negro's care.

CHORUS.

Go, White Man, go;—but with thee bear The Negro's wish, the Negro's prayer; Remembrance of the Negro's care.
