Poems On Various Subjects, Religous And Moral

‘Twas mercy brought me from my pagan land,

Taught my beknighted soul to understand

That there’s a God, that there’s a Savior too:

Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.

Some view our sable race with scornful eye,

“Their color is a diabolic dye.”

Remember Christians; Negroes, black as Cain,

May be refin’d, and join th’ angelic train.

—Phillis Wheatley, 1773

First published black poet in US
