To Heaven the Christian negress sent her sighs,
In morning vows, and evening sacrifice;
She pray’d for blessings to descend on those
Who dealt to her the cup of many woes;
Thought of her home in Africa forlorn,
Yet, while she wept, rejoic’d that she was born: [[110]]
Ennobling virtue fix’d her hopes above,
Enlarg’d her heart, and sanctified her love.
With lowly steps the path of peace she trod,
A happy pilgrim, for she walk’d with God.
