Thomas Young, O.G.L., in the Richmond Planet, February 17, 1900:
Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-Five,
The blessed news was heard,
Those that were bound, it gave new life,
To hear those happy words.

Africa, Over the Sea (1908)
T. J. Flanagan in the Atlanta Independent, March 21, 1908
(Tune: America)
My home, sweet Africa’s hills,
My heart with rapture it fills
To think of thee.
Thy holy laws I sing,
Wisdom and justice cling,
Thy bells of welcome ring
Over the sea.
