bond-woman's

Updated: April 30, 2025

"That bond-woman's corpse let Potomac's proud wave Go bear it along by our Washington's grave, And heave it high up on that hallowed strand, To tell of the freedom he won for our land. A weak woman's corpse, by freemen chased down; Hurrah for our country! hurrah! To freedom she leaped, through drowning and death Hurrah for our country! hurrah!"

William Wells Brown - Clotel; or, the President's Daughter
