Call of the Wild
In the poem " Free Labor" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper
Whose voice would rise from this garment, and what would it say to God?
Whose voice would rise from this garment, and what would it say to God?
The voice of a former slave rises from the garment; it is a gentle voice, and the ampleness of the garment thanks God for relief from burdens. The clothing itself symbolizes ease, ampleness, and freedom.
