Lexington and Concord, the Old North Church, or the historical poem Paul Revere's Ride? The poem tells of the effort to warn 18th-century Boston-area colonists of the approach of British forces。
This lesson introduces various places and an event associated with the American Revolutionary War。 出自美国革命战争中的一个故事,原文如下:
He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,如果英军从城里经陆路或水路来,就在教堂钟楼钟塔挂出一张灯。
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;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm。
"。
