Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quote

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.

Pt. I, The Landlord's Tale: Paul Revere's Ride, st. 2. - Tales of a Wayside Inn (1863-1874)
