Why Should I Care For The Men Of Thames Poem by William Blake
Why Should I Care For The Men Of Thames
Why should I care for the men of thames
Or the cheating waves of charter'd streams
Or shrink at the little blasts of fear
That the hireling blows into my ear

Tho his waters bathed my infant limbs
The Ohio shall wash his stains from me
I was born a slave but I go to be free.
............very nicely penned....a poetic write of freedom ★
