…of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.
~~
From “The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere” – poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Second stanza
“‘…If the British march
By land or by sea from the town to-night
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light
One, if by land, and two, if by sea;…
Ready to ride and sound the alarm…
For the country folk to be up and to arm'”
