According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 – 1882).
In this poem, the author and abolitionist Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes the long ride of Paul Revere. Longfellow wrote this poem at a critical time in American history, the Civil War. As the nation was on the brink of war, a poem about the American spirit and the greatness of hero resonated with a lot of people. The poem also resonated because of the words and phrases used in the text.
For example, Longfellow argues that Revere rode <em>"through every Middlesex village and farm,/ For the country-folk to be up and to arm."</em> This suggests that the support for the Patriots was overwhelming. He also describes the scene as<em> "A phantom ship, with each mast and spar/ Across the moon, like a prison-bar,/ And a huge black hulk, that was magnified/ By its own reflection in the tide." </em>This setting presents a dramatic scenario. Finally, Longfellow describes <em>"A cry of defiance, and not of fear,/ A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,/ And a word that shall echo forevermore!"</em> This suggests the importance of Revere's duty, as well as the bravery he displayed.
