Bury Me in a Free Land Quotes
Showing 1-1 of 1
“Make me a grave where'er you will,
In a lowly plain, or a lofty hill;
Make it among earth’s humblest graves,
But not in a land where men are slaves.
[…]
I ask no monument, proud and high,
To arrest the gaze of the passers-by;
All that my yearning spirit craves,
Is bury me not in a land of slaves.”

Is bury me not in a land of slaves.”
